Rybrevant + chemo shows improved OS data in NSCLC

Updated results from the phase III MARIPOSA-2 study showed Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw) combined with chemotherapy led to consistent benefit across post-progression outcomes in adult patients with previously treated NSCLC with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 19 deletions or L858R substitution mutations.
