RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Amivantamab plus lazertinib (amivantamab-lazertinib) has shown clinically meaningful and durable antitumor activity in patients with previously untreated or osimertinib-pretreated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: In a phase 3, international, randomized trial, we assigned, in a 2:2:1 ratio, patients with previously untreated EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletion or L858R), locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC to receive amivantamab-lazertinib (in an open-label fashion), osimertinib (in a blinded fashion), or lazertinib (in a blinded fashion, to assess the contribution of treatment components). The primary end point was progression-free survival in the amivantamab-lazertinib group as compared with the osimertinib group, as assessed by blinded independent central review. RESULTS: Overall, 1074 patients underwent randomization (429 to amivantamab-lazertinib, 429 to osimertinib, and 216 to lazertinib). The median progression-free survival was significantly longer in the amivantamab-lazertinib group than in the osimertinib group (23.7 vs. 16.6 months; hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58 to 0.85; P<0.001). An objective response was observed in 86% of the patients (95% CI, 83 to 89) in the amivantamab-lazertinib group and in 85% of those (95% CI, 81 to 88) in the osimertinib group; among patients with a confirmed response (336 in the amivantamab-lazertinib group and 314 in the osimertinib group), the median response duration was 25.8 months (95% CI, 20.1 to could not be estimated) and 16.8 months (95% CI, 14.8 to 18.5), respectively. In a planned interim overall survival analysis of amivantamab-lazertinib as compared with osimertinib, the hazard ratio for death was 0.80 (95% CI, 0.61 to 1.05). Predominant adverse events were EGFR-related toxic effects. The incidence of discontinuation of all agents due to treatment-related adverse events was 10% with amivantamab-lazertinib and 3% with osimertinib. CONCLUSIONS: Amivantamab-lazertinib showed superior efficacy to osimertinib as first-line treatment in EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC.

RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Limited awareness exists regarding real-world data (RWD) for palbociclib in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced/metastatic breast cancer in populations from certain countries outside of Western regions. METHODS: A systematic scoping review was conducted using PubMed and Embase to evaluate RWD for palbociclib from countries outside of Western regions that are underrepresented in clinical trials. Search criteria were aligned with our research question for relevant English-language publications, without restrictions on publication date, followed by Phase 1 (title and abstract) and Phase 2 (full-text) screening of retrieved citations as per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data analyses of eligible studies were done separately for abstracts and full-text publications to enhance the precision and reliability of the results. RESULTS: Database search yielded 1485 non-duplicate records, 46 qualified for inclusion, of which 47.8% were published as full text. The analysis of outcomes, based exclusively on full-text publications that collectively included 2048 patients treated with palbociclib, revealed the median progression-free survival (PFS) of 20.2-36.7 months, overall survival (OS) of 39.9 months (reported in one publication) and objective response rate (ORR) of 45.3-80.0% with first-line treatment. In ≥ second line, the median PFS, OS and ORR ranged from 7.0 to 24.2 months, 11 to 19.6 months, and 13.9% to 47.9%, respectively. The safety profile of palbociclib was similar to that reported in pivotal clinical studies, and no new safety concerns were identified. CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive volume of evidence demonstrates that palbociclib's effectiveness and safety profile in real-world settings align with those observed in clinical trials, offering valuable insights for clinical decision-making in countries outside of Western regions underrepresented in clinical trials.
