Article Synopsis
  • Lazertinib is a new type of medicine that helps treat a kind of lung cancer called NSCLC, especially for people whose cancer got worse after other treatments.
  • In a study with 78 patients, those taking lazertinib lived for an average of about 39 months and had good survival rates at 1, 2, and 3 years.
  • The study found that checking for certain cancer genes in the blood can help predict how well patients will respond to lazertinib treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • A global phase III trial evaluated the effectiveness of combining amivantamab with chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed), with and without lazertinib, in treating patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have EGFR mutations and have progressed on previous treatment.
  • The study involved 657 patients and compared three treatment groups: amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy, amivantamab-chemotherapy, and chemotherapy alone, with a focus on progression-free survival (PFS) as the main outcome.
  • Results showed that both amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy resulted in significantly longer PFS and
