An explanation of the EXCLAIM Trial and the mechanism of action, clinical development, and the overall clinical development program of mobocertinib.

During a Targeted Oncology Case-Based Roundtable event, Miguel Albino, MD, of Texas Oncology, discussed the case of a 73-year-old patient with EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Joel Neal, MD, PhD, and Alexander I Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, review current treatments for EGFR Exon 20 Insertion+ NSCLC, their preferred treatments, and current clinical trials.

Experts review the demographics of patients who should be tested and how to discuss EGFR Exon 20 Insertion+ NSCLC with patients.

A discussion on how this variant of NSCLC differs from the (exon 19 and exon 21) EGFR mutations and the demographics of EGFR patients.

Joel Neal, MD, PhD, and Alexander I Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, discuss the recent identification of EGFR exon 20 insertion+ mNSCLC and how patients responded before the new drugs were introduced.

The combination of plinabulin with docetaxel showed improvement in overall survival compared with docetaxel alone as treatment of patients with second- and third-line non –small cell lung cancer with EGFR wild type, meeting the primary end point of the phase 3 DUBLIN-3 clinical trial.

Research shows that methods used to treat the wide epidermal growth factor receptor-positive population are often not successful for patients with specific biomarkers like EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, highlighting an ongoing need for more targeted therapies.

Nathan Pennell, MD, PhD, discusses the cost-effectiveness of adjuvant osimertinib in resected EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.

The real-world treatment patterns for patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 20 insertions are diverse, according to a retrospective observational study, and underscore an unmet need for better treatment options for this patient population.

Neoadjuvant osimertinib is effective and feasible for use as treatment for patients with stage II-IIIB EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma, according to interim analysis results of the NEOS study.

In a retrospective analysis of patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer and EGFR mutations treated with osimertinib, investigators found that body mass index of 25 kg/mq2 or more had a negative impact on survival outcomes.

Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, director of the Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute, discusses the current standard of care for EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated lung cancer.

Joshua K. Sabari, MD, reviews the therapies available to treat patients with EGFR exon 20-positive non–small cell lung cancer.

New data from the phase 3 IMPACT trial shows the advantages and shortcomings of gefitinib in patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer.

Alexander Spira, MD, PhD, FACP, director of the Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute, discusses the safety profile of amivantamab and lazertinib in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer, based on data from the CHRYSALIS tria.

Treatment with aumolertinib led to improved progression free survival and duration of response in patients with advanced non-small cell lung caner with epidermal growth factor receptor, compared with gefitinib.

treatment with patritumab deruxtecan induced clinically meaningful, durable efficacy in heavily pretreated patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who were resistant to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Amivantamab in combination with lazertinib led to responses in more than a third of patients with EGFR-mutant non–small cell lung cancer who had progressed on treatment with osimertinib but had not received chemotherapy.

Mobocertinib, elicited rapid, deep, and durable responses and demonstrated a tolerable safety profile in patients with platinum-pretreated EGFR exon 20 insertion–positive metastatic non–small cell lung cancer in a phase 1/2 study.

The FDA has granted approval to amivantamab-vmjw for the frontline treatment of adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Xiuning Le, MD, PhD, discuss the findings from cohort 5 of the ZENITH20 study including the strategy of splitting the dose in half to reduce adverse events associated with poziotinib.

Xiuning Le, MD, PhD, discusses the reasoning behind splitting the dose of poziotinib dose in order to reduce adverse effects and improve efficacy for the treatment of EGFR- or HER2 exon 20–positive non–small cell lung cancer.
