Patritumab deruxtecan displayed clinically meaningful and durable efficacy in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who experienced progression following treatment with an EGFR-directed TKI and platinum-based chemotherapy.
James Chih-Hsin Yang, MD, PhD, discusses the implications of the phase 3 KEYNOTE-789 trial and what directions investigators can examine in the future to help fill the unmet need for patients with TKI-resistant, EGFR-mutated metastatic non–small cell lung cancer.
The combination of sintilimab and chemotherapy with or without the bevacizumab biosimilar IBI305 produced a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival vs chemotherapy alone in patients with EGFR-mutated, nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer who progressed after treatment with an EGFR TKI.
Edward B. Garon, MD, MS, discusses challenges associated with the incorporation of immunotherapy into the treatment paradigm for EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.
