Next-generation panel sequencing and a unique algorithm demonstrated the advantage of detecting NRG1 fusions and providing structure information of partners, which could ultimately guide more precise therapeutic options, according to data from a study done in Chinese patients with solid tumors.

June 07, 2022

Seribantumab was found to produce encouraging overall response rates with acceptable tolerability when used as a monotherapy in patients with solid tumors harboring NRG1 fusions.

June 07, 2022

Afatinib may prove effective and tolerable in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors with NRG1 gene fusions, according to the rationale for a prospective real-world outcomes study that was presented as a trial in progress at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting.
