Efficacy and safety of first-line maintenance therapy with lurbinectedin plus atezolizumab in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (IMforte): a randomised, multicentre, open-label, phase 3 trial

Background: Despite improved efficacy with first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors plus platinum-based chemotherapy for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), survival remains poor. In this study, we aimed to compare lurbinectedin plus atezolizumab and atezolizumab alone as maintenance therapies in patients with ES-SCLC without progression after induction therapy with atezolizumab, carboplatin, and etoposide … Continua a leggere


Sevabertinib in Advanced HER2-Mutant Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Background: HER2 gene mutations occur in 2 to 4% of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sevabertinib is an oral, reversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has shown anti-HER2 activity in preclinical models.
Methods: We conducted an open-label, multicenter, multicohort, phase 1-2 study to evaluate sevabertinib at a twice-daily dose of 20 mg in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC … Continua a leggere


Tarlatamab in Small-Cell Lung Cancer after Platinum-Based Chemotherapy


Background: Tarlatamab, a bispecific delta-like ligand 3-directed T-cell engager immunotherapy, received accelerated approval for the treatment of patients with previously treated small-cell lung cancer. Whether tarlatamab is more effective than chemotherapy in the treatment of patients whose small-cell lung cancer has progressed during or after initial platinum-based chemotherapy is not known … Continua a leggere


Adagrasib versus docetaxel in KRASG12C-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (KRYSTAL-12): a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial

Background: Adagrasib is a KRASG12C inhibitor that demonstrated promising activity against KRASG12C-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase 2 trial. Here we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of adagrasib versus docetaxel in patients with KRASG12C-mutated advanced NSCLC previously treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy … Continua a leggere


Zongertinib in Previously Treated HER2-Mutant Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Background: Innovative oral targeted therapies are warranted for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Zongertinib is an oral, irreversible, HER2-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been shown to have efficacy in persons with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with HER2 alterations in a phase 1 study … Continua a leggere


Cemiplimab Monotherapy for First-Line Treatment of Patients with Advanced NSCLC With PD-L1 Expression of 50% or Higher: Five-Year Outcomes of EMPOWER-Lung 1

Introduction: Earlier results from the phase 3 EMPOWER-Lung 1 trial indicated significant survival benefits and a generally acceptable safety profile of first-line cemiplimab monotherapy versus chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC with programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in 50% or more tumor cells and no EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 aberrations. Here, we report the five-year outcomes … Continua a leggere


Overall Survival with Amivantamab-Lazertinib in EGFR-Mutated Advanced NSCLC

Background: Previous results from this phase 3 trial showed that progression-free survival among participants with previously untreated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was significantly improved with amivantamab-lazertinib as compared with osimertinib. Results of the protocol-specified final overall survival analysis in this trial have not been reported … Continua a leggere


Nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer: final, 6-year outcomes from CheckMate 9LA

Background: The phase III CheckMate 9LA study demonstrated durable overall survival (OS) benefit with nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy in patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we report final, 6-year efficacy and safety outcomes … Continua a leggere


Overall Survival with Neoadjuvant Nivolumab plus Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer

Background: Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy significantly improved pathological complete response and event-free survival in patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a phase 3 trial. Data are needed on overall survival.
Methods: In this open-label, phase 3 trial, patients with stage IB to IIIA resectable NSCLC
… Continua a leggere


Updated Overall Survival Analysis From the Phase II PHAROS Study of Encorafenib Plus Binimetinib in Patients With BRAF V600E-Mutant Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The phase II PHAROS study previously showed that encorafenib plus binimetinib has antitumor activity in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC). In PHAROS, 98 patients (59 treatment-naïve; 39 previously treated) received encorafenib 450 mg once daily …Continua a leggere


Survival with Osimertinib plus Chemotherapy in EGFR-Mutated Advanced NSCLC

Background: The primary analysis of this trial showed that first-line treatment with osimertinib plus chemotherapy with a platinum-based agent and pemetrexed led to significantly longer progression-free survival than osimertinib monotherapy among patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Results from the planned final analysis of overall survival are needed …Continua a leggere


Sacituzumab Tirumotecan in EGFR-TKI-Resistant, EGFR-Mutated Advanced NSCLC

Background: Sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 that has shown significant survival benefits in patients with EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has progressed after epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy …Continua a leggere


Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy versus tislelizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (HARMONi-6): a randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial

Background: Squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with worse clinical outcomes than non-squamous NSCLC, but treatment options are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivonescimab plus chemotherapy versus tislelizumab plus chemotherapy as a first-line therapy for patients with advanced squamous NSCLC … Continua a leggere


Alectinib versus crizotinib in previously untreated ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer: Final overall survival analysis of the Phase III ALEX study


Background: ALEX, a global, randomized, phase III trial evaluated alectinib versus crizotinib in patients with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This final analysis provides mature overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR) and long-term safety data … Continua a leggere
