Follow-up results from the phase Ib/II CHRYSALIS-2 study cohort evaluating the safety and tolerability of the combination of Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw)—a bispecific antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor and mesenchymal-epithelial transition—with lazertinib, an oral third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, plus platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in patients with relapsed/refractory non-small cell lung cancer and EGFR mutations, showed that the drug combination led to durable progression-free survival.

Infections are a major cause of death in patients treated with CAR T-cell therapy
Meta-analysis focused on causes of death, excluding relapse, recurrence

More than half of deaths that are not attributed to disease progression or recurrence after CAR T-cell therapy are caused by infections—an unprecedented finding that experts say marks a shift from a conventional focus on mitigating treatment-specific adverse events to including prevention and management of infections.

Tiragolumab + atezolizumab for metastatic nSq NSCLC did not meet primary endpoints in phase II/III trial

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, announced that the phase II/III SKYSCRAPER-06 study evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq (atezolizumab) and chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy as an initial treatment for people with previously untreated, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, did not meet its primary endpoints of progression-free survival at its primary analysis with a hazard ratio of 1.27 [95% CI: 1.02,1.57] and overall survival at its first interim analysis with a HR of 1.33 [95% CI: 1.02, 1.73], which was immature.
