Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy Supported by Differences in pCR and non-pCR Responders in Stage IIIA NSCLC

August 7th 2022

The use of a platinum-based chemotherapy and anti–PD-1 regimen was supported by differences in upregulated antigen processing, T-cell receptor coexpression, and lymphocyte infiltration pathways in patients with or without pathologic complete responses who had stage IIIA resectable non–small cell lung cancer.

Consolidation Sugemalimab Provides Sustained PFS Benefit in Unresectable Stage III NSCLC

August 7th 2022

Sugemalimab appeared to be safe and effective when used as consolidation therapy for patients with unresectable stage III non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who did not have disease progression following concurrent chemoradiation or sequential chemoradiation.

Durvalumab/Tremelimumab Combo Provides OS Benefit in First-Line Metastatic NSCLC

August 6th 2022

The combination use of first-line durvalumab plus tremelimumab for the treatment of patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer improved overall survival compared with standard-of-care chemotherapy.

Larotrectinib Demonstrates Favorable Long-Term Responses in NTRK Fusion–Positive Lung Cancer

August 6th 2022

Larotrectinib continued to elicit durable responses and a low toxicity profile in patients with NTRK fusion–positive lung cancer, according to long-term follow-up data from the phase 2 NAVIGATE trial and phase 1 LOXO-TRK-14001 trial.

Ociperlimab Plus Tislelizumab Demonstrates Antitumor Activity in PD-L1+ NSCLC

August 6th 2022

Ociperlimab, an anti-TIGIT monoclonal antibody, plus the anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibody tislelizumab induced promising efficacy in adults with treatment-naïve, metastatic, PD-L1–positive non–small cell lung cancer, according to data from the dose-expansion cohort of the AdvanTIG-105 trial.

Tremelimumab/Durvalumab Plus Chemotherapy Improves OS in PD-L1–Negative NSCLC

August 6th 2022

August 6th 2022

Neoadjuvant adagrasib as monotherapy or in combination with nivolumab may elicit improved pathologic complete response rates in patients with resectable, KRAS G12C–mutated non–small cell lung cancer, according to the rationale for the phase 2 Neo-KAN study.

Sacituzumab Govitecan Under Further Exploration in Pretreated Metastatic NSCLC

August 6th 2022

Osimertinib/Savolitinib Combo Looks to Overcome Acquired Resistance in EGFR-Mutant NSCLC

August 5th 2022

Acquired resistance because of genetic alterations in the MET receptor has limited the efficacy of the EGFR inhibitor osimertinib in patients with non–small cell lung cancer. Investigators have sought to circumvent this barrier through targeting MET protein activity with the addition of the novel MET TKI, savolitinib.
