Enhanced Dermatological Management for First-Line Amivantamab + Lazertinib in Advanced NSCLC – Insights from the COCOON Study

A panelist discusses how first-line (1L) therapies, including EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as osimertinib, are the standard of care for treating locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with emerging combination strategies and safety considerations shaping current treatment approaches.

A panelist discusses how the COCOON study demonstrated that enhanced dermatologic management significantly reduces the incidence and severity of dermatologic adverse events (DAEs) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving first-line treatment with amivantamab and lazertinib, improving both quality of life and treatment adherence.

A panelist discusses how prophylactic dermatologic management, including the proactive use of moisturizers, topical steroids, and antibiotics, significantly improves the tolerability and adherence to first-line treatment with amivantamab and lazertinib for advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by reducing the severity of dermatologic adverse events (DAEs) and preventing treatment interruptions.

A panelist discusses how the COCOON study's findings will lead to the integration of enhanced dermatologic management into clinical practice for patients receiving amivantamab and lazertinib, focusing on proactive care to reduce dermatologic adverse events (DAEs), improve patient comfort, and increase treatment adherence, ultimately optimizing patient outcomes.
