Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw) + Lazcluze (lazertinib) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival improvement for patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 19 deletions or L858R substitution mutations, according to data from the phase III Mariposa study.
Tagrisso (osimertinib) with the addition of pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the key secondary endpoint of OS compared to Tagrisso monotherapy in the 1st-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.
