In the CodeBreaK 200 clinical trial, progression-free survival was extended with sotorasib treatment in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated non–small cell lung cancer vs standard of care chemotherapy.

Cary Gross, MD, discusses the key takeaways from his retrospective research examining patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer and its association with Medicaid insurance, rates of biomarker testing, and patient outcomes.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Brandon Sheffield, MD, discussed relevant biomarkers for testing in patients with non–small cell lung cancer, and the cost-effectiveness of single-gene test vs next-generation sequencing.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Cary Gross, MD, discussed retrospective research that revealed testing and treatment disparities among Medicaid beneficiaries with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and the steps needed to improve outcomes for the patient population.

An accelerated approval by the FDA for capmatinib has be converted to a regular approval based on new data from adults patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer whose tumors have a mutation leading to MET exon 14 skipping.

The combination of tremelimumab plus durvalumab and chemotherapy in the first-line elicited survival benefit in patients with metastatic nonsquamous cell non–small cell lung cancer who harbor STK11, KEAP1, and KRAS mutations.

Sotorasib and RMC-4630 elicited promising preliminary activity in pretreated and KRAS G12C inhibitor–naïve patients with non–small cell lung cancer.

Tepotinib achieved robust efficacy in patients with non–small cell lung cancer harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations, according to a primary analysis of cohort C of the phase 2 VISION trial.

Sitravatinib plus tislelizumab showed a confirmed investigator-assessed overall response rate of 30.4% in PD-L1–positive, treatment-naïve, locally advanced or metastatic squamous non–small cell lung cancer.

Sotorasib plus either pembrolizumab or atezolizumab revealed promising efficacy and relatively low rates of hepatotoxicity with a lead-in dosing strategy in patients with KRAS G12C–positive non–small cell lung cancer.

A phase 1a trial of GDC-6036 showed encouraging antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile as a single agent in previously treated patients with KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Ociperlimab plus tislelizumab revealed promising efficacy in adults with treatment-naïve, metastatic, PD-L1–positive non­–small cell lung cancer.
