FDA granted accelerated approval to repotrectinib (Augtyro) for adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with solid tumors that have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase gene fusion, are locally advanced or metastatic or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity, and that have progressed following treatment or have no satisfactory alternative therapy.
FDA accepted a new drug application and granted priority review designation for the investigational compound sevabertinib (BAY 2927088), an oral, small molecule, tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have activating human epidermal growth factor receptors 2 (HER2) (ERBB2) mutations and who have received a prior systemic therapy.
