Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, joins the Oncology Brothers in reviewing data from LIBRETTO-431 and frontline selpercatinib in patients with RET fusion–positive advanced non–small cell lung cancer.

Shared insight from key opinion leaders on results from MARIPOSA-2 and the role of amivantamab plus lazertinib and chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC following progression on osimertinib.

Expert insight into results from MARIPOSA, a study of frontline amivantamab plus lazertinib in advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and the potential for this regimen’s use in real-world practice.

Oncology Brothers Rohit Gosain, MD, and Rahul Gosain, MD, are joined by Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, to review data from PAPILLON, which combined amivantamab and chemotherapy as frontline treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC.

Survival benefits for immunotherapy doublets outweigh chemotherapy alone in advanced stage PD-L1-negative non-small cell lung cancer.

Hossein Borghaei, MS, DO, provides an overview on his presentation given at the 18th Annual New York Lung Cancers Symposium.

The early adoption of ctDNA into the clinical workflow improves time to treatment, survival, and monitoring for patients undergoing molecular-based therapy.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Penn Medicine’s Qian Wang, MD, MPH, gives an in-depth overview of the molecular targets in the small cell lung cancer field.

For many immune-related adverse events, steroids are used as frontline treatment. However, it remains unclear if steroids allow for preservation of the antitumor immune response, resulting in the need for more options for patients with cancer.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Joshua Sabari, MD, discussed the rationale of studying LY3537982 in the LOXO-RAS-20001 trial and next steps for the evaluation of the agent.

THIO has received 2 prior orphan drug designations, and the agent has shown promise in preclinical studies for the treatment of glioblastoma.

During a Targeted Oncology™ Community Case Forum event in collaboration with the Tennessee Oncology Practice Society, Jason Porter, MD, reviewed the CodeBreaK 100 and CodeBreaK 200 trials of sotorasib for patients with KRAS-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

During a Targeted Oncology™ Case-Based Roundtable™ event, Mohamed K. Mohamed, MD, PhD, and participants discussed cemiplimab plus chemotherapy and tremelimumab/durvalumab plus chemotherapy as regimens for a patient with metastatic squamous non–small cell lung cancer.

Wade T. Iams, MD, discusses molecular testing and multidisciplinary treatment for a patient with non–small cell lung cancer.

Joshua K. Sabari, MD, discusses where research on LY3537982 for patients with KRAS G12C-mutant advanced solid tumors is headed.

In an exploratory analysis, different doses of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki revealed consistent intracranial responses in HER2-mutated non–small cell lung cancer with treated or untreated brain metastases at baseline.

Datopotamab deruxtecan delivered promising responses in patients with heavily pretreated non–small cell lung cancer with actionable genomic alterations.

Treatment with datopotamab deruxtecan improved progression-free survival vs docetaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.

Combining amivantamab, carboplatin, and pemetrexed in patients with non–small cell lung cancer and an EGFR exon 20 insertion led to improved progression-free survival, overall response rate, duration of response, and a trend toward overall survival benefit vs chemotherapy alone in the randomized phase 3 PAPILLON study.

Results phase 3 LIBRETTO-431 trial presented at the 2023 ESMO Congress showed selpercatinib monotherapy demonstrated better survival results than chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab for patients with RET fusion–positive non–small cell lung cancer.

Results from the phase 3 ALINA trial showed the benefit of ALK inhibition for patients with ALK-positive, early-stage, non–small-cell lung cancer with use of adjuvant alectinib significantly improving disease-free survival.

In the first phase 3 perioperative study of patients with resectable non–small cell lung cancer given adjuvant nivolumab after surgery and a prior regimen of nivolumab and chemotherapy showed improved event-free survival results.

Findings from the FLAURA2 trial demonstrate that firstline treatment with osimertinib plus chemotherapy reduced the risk for central nervous system progression in patients with EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
