Treatment with an indefinite course of osimertinib dramatically improves progression-free survival for patients with stage 3 non-small cell cancer, according to the results of the LAURA trial. The median PFS was 39.1 months in the osimertinib group, compared to 5.6 months with the placebo group.
Topline overall survival results from the TROPION-Lung01 phase III trial, which previously met the dual primary endpoint of progression-free survival, numerically favored datopotamab deruxtecan compared to docetaxel in the overall trial population of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer treated with at least one prior line of therapy.
Cartography Biosciences Inc. has entered a strategic collaboration agreement with Gilead Sciences Inc., to discover and develop therapies for patients with triple-negative breast cancer and the most common form of non-small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma.
Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute said results of a phase II, multi-center clinical trial revealed that a new type of cell therapy is a promising potential treatment option for patients with stage 4 lung cancer who were previously treated but later developed resistance to other therapies.
Patients with KRASG12C mutated-non-small cell lung cancer who were treated with glecirasib, a KRASG12C-inhibitor, experienced promising outcomes according to new findings presented during an April 30 session of the American Society of Clinical Oncology Plenary Series.
Non-classical mutations are present in 20-30% of all patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, according to an analysis of real-world evidence presented by Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc. at the American Association of Cancer Research annual meeting.
A mutli-center observational study demonstrated the clinical validity and utility of the PROphet non-small cell lung cancer test, a plasma proteome machine learning-based decision-support tool designed to identify patient subsets benefiting from PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor-based therapies.
FDA approved Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw) with carboplatin and pemetrexed for the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor, or EGFR, exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
FDA granted the next-generation selective RET inhibitor EP0031/A400 Fast Track designation for the potential treatment of RET-fusion positive non-small cell lung cancer.
FDA approved Tagrisso (osimertinib) with platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
