In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Edward B. Garon, MD, MS, discussed the ever-changing treatment landscape for EGFR-mutated lung cancer, as well as the unmet needs and potential next steps for research in this space.

Telisotuzumab vedotin demonstrated promising efficacy and safety in patients with advanced nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer with high or intermediate c-Met expression.

Positive findings from the MARIPOSA-2 study of amivantamab with chemotherapy with or without lazertinib in locally advanced or metastatic non–small cell lung cancer with EGFR mutations support the submission of a supplemental biologics license application to the FDA.
