Importance of Molecular Testing in Lung Adenocarcinoma

David DiBardino, MD, explains how intratumoral radioenhancer therapy works, why standardization remains a challenge, and what early CONVERGE study data suggest for locally advanced NSCLC.

The COPERNICUS study of amivantamab/lazertinib showed lower rates of adverse events and discontinuation with supportive care regimens in patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

The FDA approved an sNDA updating the taletrectinib label with a 49.7-month median duration of response from TRUST-I in ROS1-positive NSCLC.

KEYNOTE-D46 shows sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab misses PFS/OS targets in PD-L1–high metastatic NSCLC, despite higher responses and toxicity.

The phase 3 DESTINY-Lung04 trial showed first-line trastuzumab deruxtecan extended PFS in patients with HER2-mutant NSCLC.

Updated PRESERVE-003 data showed gotistobart nearly doubled median OS vs docetaxel in previously treated squamous NSCLC.

Osimertinib was associated with a 47% reduction in risk of death among patients with stage II-IIIA EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer at 8 years.

First-line amivantamab plus chemotherapy produced the longest reported median OS in EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive advanced NSCLC in the phase 3 PAPILLON trial.
