RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Mobocertinib, an EGFR exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins)-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor has been used for treatment of advanced/metastatic EGFR Ex20ins-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, resistance mechanisms to EGFR Ex20ins-specific inhibitors and the efficacy of subsequent amivantamab treatment is unknown. METHODS: To investigate resistance mechanisms, tissue and cfDNA samples were collected before treatment initiation and upon development of resistance from NSCLC patients with EGFR Ex20ins mutations received mobocertinib, poziotinib, and amivantamab treatments. Genetic alterations were analyzed using whole-genome and targeted sequencing, and in vitro resistant cell lines were generated for validation. RESULTS: EGFR amplification (n = 6, including 2 broad copy number gain) and EGFR secondary mutation (n = 3) were observed at the resistance of mobocertinib. One patient had both EGFR secondary mutation and high EGFR focal amplification. In vitro models harboring EGFR alterations were constructed to validate resistance mechanisms and identify overcoming strategies to resistance. Acquired EGFR-dependent alterations were found to mediate resistance to mobocertinib in patients and in vitro models. Furthermore, two of six patients who received sequential amivantamab followed by an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor had MET amplification and showed partial response. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed EGFR-dependent and -independent mechanisms of mobocertinib resistance in patients with advanced EGFR Ex20ins-mutant NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: Although amivantamab has shown clinical benefits for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertions, its cost-effectiveness requires further investigation. AIM: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of amivantamab plus chemotherapy for the treatment of NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertions from the United States payer perspective. METHOD: A partitioned survival model was developed based on the data from the PAPILLON trial. Costs were derived from the pricing files of Medicare and Medicaid Services and published literature, and utility values were derived from previous studies. A 3% annual discount rate was applied to both costs and outcomes. The primary outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). One-way sensitivity analysis, probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis, were conducted to test the model stability. RESULTS: Amivantamab plus chemotherapy yielded an additional 1.12 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) while increasing costs by $483,769.50 relative to the chemotherapy regimen, leading to an ICER of $432,401.16/QALY. The combination of amivantamab with chemotherapy was not cost effective at a threshold of $150,000/QALY. In the scenario analysis, the results showed that the ICERs were $263,680.69/QALY and $418,416.35/QALY when different utility values and 10-year time horizons were adopted, respectively. For PSA, the probability that amivantamab plus chemotherapy would be cost-effective was 0% if the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold was $150,000/QALY. CONCLUSION: Amivantamab plus chemotherapy is unlikely to be a cost-effective option for NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertions. Reducing the cost of amivantamab may produce favorable economic outcomes.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Amivantamab-lazertinib significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) versus osimertinib in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant advanced non-small-cell lung cancer [NSCLC; hazard ratio (HR) 0.70; P < 0.001], including those with a history of brain metastases (HR 0.69). Patients with TP53 co-mutations, detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), baseline liver metastases, and those without ctDNA clearance on treatment have poor prognoses. We evaluated outcomes in these high-risk subgroups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This analysis included patients with treatment-naive, EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC randomized to amivantamab-lazertinib (n = 429) or osimertinib (n = 429) in MARIPOSA. Pathogenic alterations were identified by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of baseline blood ctDNA with Guardant360 CDx. Ex19del and L858R ctDNA in blood was analyzed at baseline and cycle 3 day 1 (C3D1) with Biodesix droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). RESULTS: Baseline ctDNA for NGS of pathogenic alterations was available for 636 patients (amivantamab-lazertinib, n = 320; osimertinib, n = 316). Amivantamab-lazertinib improved median PFS (mPFS) versus osimertinib for patients with TP53 co-mutations {18.2 versus 12.9 months; HR 0.65 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.48-0.87]; P = 0.003} and for patients with wild-type TP53 [22.1 versus 19.9 months; HR 0.75 (95% CI 0.52-1.07)]. In patients with EGFR-mutant, ddPCR-detectable baseline ctDNA, amivantamab-lazertinib significantly prolonged mPFS versus osimertinib [20.3 versus 14.8 months; HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.53-0.86); P = 0.002]. Amivantamab-lazertinib significantly improved mPFS versus osimertinib in patients without ctDNA clearance at C3D1 [16.5 versus 9.1 months; HR 0.49 (95% CI 0.27-0.87); P = 0.015] and with clearance [24.0 versus 16.5 months; HR 0.64 (95% CI 0.48-0.87); P = 0.004]. Amivantamab-lazertinib significantly prolonged mPFS versus osimertinib among randomized patients with [18.2 versus 11.0 months; HR 0.58 (95% CI 0.37-0.91); P = 0.017] and without baseline liver metastases [24.0 versus 18.3 months; HR 0.74 (95% CI 0.60-0.91); P = 0.004]. CONCLUSIONS: Amivantamab-lazertinib effectively overcomes the effect of high-risk features and represents a promising new standard of care for patients with EGFR-mutant advanced NSCLC.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The prognosis of advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is poor. Although cytotoxic drugs have been widely used in advanced ESCC, several antibody agents have recently been reported to be effective. AREAS COVERED: Nivolumab and pembrolizumab are anti-PD-1 antibodies that improve immunosuppression by binding to programmed death-1 (PD-1), leading to an antitumor effect. Randomized phase III trials have found these immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to be effective as second-line treatment. ATTRACTION-3, which compared nivolumab monotherapy with taxane monotherapy in patients with previously treated advanced ESCC, reported prolonged overall survival in the nivolumab group. KEYNOTE-181 found that overall survival was longer in patients with PD-L1-positive ESCC who received second-line treatment with pembrolizumab than in those who received chemotherapy. Sym004 and amivantamab are antibodies that target the epidermal growth factor receptor and have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of other tumors in recent phase I studies. Furthermore, clinical trials on antibody-drug conjugates such as enfortumab vedotin and DS-7300 for solid tumors are currently ongoing. EXPERT OPINION: The standard first-line treatments for patients with advanced ESCC contain ICIs. Therefore, drugs with different mechanisms of action that can overcome resistance to ICIs are needed as second-line or later-line treatments to improve clinical outcomes in these patients.

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) frequently harbors mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with exon 20 insertions comprising 1-10% of these mutations. EGFR exon 20 insertions are less responsive to conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), leading to the development of targeted agents. This review explores key therapeutic agents, such as Amivantamab, Mobocertinib, Poziotinib, Zipalertinib, and Sunvozertinib, which have shown promise in treating NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertions. Amivantamab, a bispecific antibody-targeting EGFR and c-MET, demonstrates significant efficacy, particularly when combined with chemotherapy. Mobocertinib, a TKI, selectively targets EGFR exon 20 mutations but faces limitations in efficacy. Poziotinib, another oral TKI, shows mixed results due to mutation-specific responses. Zipalertinib and Sunvozertinib have emerged as potent TKIs with promising clinical data. Despite these advances, challenges in overcoming resistance mutations and improving central nervous system penetration remain. Future research should focus on optimizing first-line combination therapies and enhancing diagnostic strategies for comprehensive mutation profiling.

Amivantamab is a fully human bispecific monoclonal antibody indicated for treating patients with specifically large cell lung cancer. Its dosage is based on the patient's initial body weight and is administered via intravenous infusion after dilution. Therefore, this drug is given as a strategy due to the great need for a molecule targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET), as acquired resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) was observed in the treatment of large cell lung cancer. This article encompasses a review of the benefits of amivantamab for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This drug is the first therapy directed against this specific mutation, and unlike others, it could bind to two genetic receptors, whereas antibodies, in general, are directed toward a single receptor.
RESUMO
Objective: Amivantamab plus chemotherapy has been proved to be an efficient treatment strategy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertions. The aim of this study was to conduct the cost-effectiveness analysis of amivantamab-chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in NSCLC harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. Methods: We constructed a Markov model based on the data derived from the PAPILLON trial. We evaluated the cost, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). One-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate the influence of different parameters on this model. Results: Compared with chemotherapy alone, amivantamab combined with chemotherapy treatment gained an incremental effectiveness of 0.473 QALYs and an incremental cost of $361,950.952, which resulted in an ICER of $765,224/QALY. The ICER was much higher than the willingness-to-pay threshold of 15,0000/QALY. One-way sensitivity analysis revealed that amivantamab cost was the leading influential factor in the model. Conclusions: Compared with chemotherapy alone, amivantamab plus chemotherapy is not a cost-effective first-line treatment choice for NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertions. The costly price of amivantamab is one of the major reasons for the high cost of this combined treatment strategy. Therefore, it is imperative to take into account the high cost of amivantamab in the subsequent clinical application and strive to attain a relative equilibrium between its significant clinical benefit and economic encumbrance.
RESUMO
Uncommon (ucEGFRmuts) and rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations account for 10-15% of diagnosed cases and consist of a heterogeneous group represented by several clusters within exons 18-21 (e.g., exon 18 point mutations, exon 21 L861X, exon 20 S768I), as well as exon 20 insertions (Ex20ins). Their incidence is under molecular and clinical investigation following recent findings that reported an increase of sensitivity and specificity of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods. Consequently, their detection allows for the selection of emerging treatment options to significantly improve patients' outcomes in these particular subgroups of EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Specifically, this commentary is focused on the notable progress of the Phase 3 PAPILLON study that showed primary efficacy results from amivantamab, a bispecific antibody with specific binding and affinity to extracellular domains of EGFR and MET, plus chemotherapy in the first-line setting for EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients, as compared with chemotherapy alone, thus becoming the new standard of care in this group of patients.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we explored the clinical outcomes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR Exon20 in-frame insertions (Exon20ins), and the impact of the location of Exon20ins on these clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The efficacies of current systemic therapies in NSCLC patients harboring Exon20ins were investigated using a large-scale clinico-genomic database of LC-SCRUM-Asia, and compared with that of amivantamab in the CHRYSALIS trial. RESULTS: Of the 11,397 patients enrolled in LC-SCRUM-Asia, Exon20ins were detected in 189 patients (1.7 %). Treatment with classical EGFR tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (classical TKIs) was associated with a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in NSCLC patients with Exon20ins as compared with Exon19 deletions and L858R. Post platinum-based chemotherapy, classical TKIs and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) were associated with a shorter PFS than with docetaxel in patients with Exon20ins (HR [95 % CI]; TKIs vs docetaxel, 2.16 [1.35-3.46]; ICIs vs docetaxel, 1.49 [1.21-1.84]). Patients treated with amivantamab in the CHRYSALIS trial showed a risk reduction in PFS and overall survival as compared with LC-SCRUM-Asia patients treated with docetaxel, classical TKIs, or ICIs. Among the 189 patients, Exon20ins were classified as near-loop or far-loop insertions in 115 (61 %) and 56 (30 %) patients, respectively. Treatment with osimertinib was associated with a longer PFS in patients with Exon20ins in near-loop as compared with far-loop (median, 5.6 vs. 2.0 months; HR [95 % CI], 0.22 [0.07-0.64]). CONCLUSIONS: After platinum-based chemotherapy, classical TKIs and ICIs are less effective in NSCLC patients with Exon20ins, and amivantamab may be a promising targeted therapy. There is a possibility that the location of Exon20ins has an impact on the efficacy of TKIs.

Aim: We assessed relative efficacy and safety of amivantamab versus mobocertinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion (exon20ins) mutations who progressed on prior platinum-based chemotherapy. Materials & methods: This matching-adjusted indirect comparison used patient-level data from CHRYSALIS (NCT02609776) and aggregate data from a mobocertinib trial (NCT02716116) to match populations on all clinically relevant confounders. Results: While both agents had similar efficacy for time-to-event outcomes, objective response rate was significantly higher for amivantamab. 15 of 23 any-grade treatment-related adverse events reported for mobocertinib were significantly less common for amivantamab versus only two for mobocertinib. Conclusion: Results suggest that amivantamab has an improved response rate with similar survival and a more favorable safety profile versus mobocertinib in EGFR exon20ins non-small-cell lung cancer.

BACKGROUND: Amivantamab plus carboplatin-pemetrexed (chemotherapy) with and without lazertinib demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with refractory epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in phase I studies. These combinations were evaluated in a global phase III trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 657 patients with EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletions or L858R) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC after disease progression on osimertinib were randomized 2 : 2 : 1 to receive amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy, chemotherapy, or amivantamab-chemotherapy. The dual primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) of amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy. During the study, hematologic toxicities observed in the amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy arm necessitated a regimen change to start lazertinib after carboplatin completion. RESULTS: All baseline characteristics were well balanced across the three arms, including by history of brain metastases and prior brain radiation. PFS was significantly longer for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy [hazard ratio (HR) for disease progression or death 0.48 and 0.44, respectively; P < 0.001 for both; median of 6.3 and 8.3 versus 4.2 months, respectively]. Consistent PFS results were seen by investigator assessment (HR for disease progression or death 0.41 and 0.38 for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy, respectively; P < 0.001 for both; median of 8.2 and 8.3 versus 4.2 months, respectively). Objective response rate was significantly higher for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy (64% and 63% versus 36%, respectively; P < 0.001 for both). Median intracranial PFS was 12.5 and 12.8 versus 8.3 months for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy (HR for intracranial disease progression or death 0.55 and 0.58, respectively). Predominant adverse events (AEs) in the amivantamab-containing regimens were hematologic, EGFR-, and MET-related toxicities. Amivantamab-chemotherapy had lower rates of hematologic AEs than amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy improved PFS and intracranial PFS versus chemotherapy in a population with limited options after disease progression on osimertinib. Longer follow-up is needed for the modified amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy regimen.

INTRODUCTION: Amivantamab-vmjw (amivantamab) is a bispecific EGFR/MET antibody approved for patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, after prior therapy. Nevertheless, the benefits and safety of amivantamab in other EGFR-mutant lung cancer, with or without osimertinib, and with concurrent radiation therapy, are less known. METHODS: We queried the MD Anderson Lung Cancer GEMINI, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, University of California Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Stanford Cancer Center's database for patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with amivantamab, not on a clinical trial. The data analyzed included initial response, duration of treatment, and concomitant radiation safety in overall population and prespecified subgroups. RESULTS: A total of 61 patients received amivantamab. Median age was 65 (31-81) years old; 72.1% were female; and 77% were patients with never smoking history. Median number of prior lines of therapies was four. On the basis of tumor's EGFR mutation, 39 patients were in the classical mutation cohort, 15 patients in the exon 20 cohort, and seven patients in the atypical cohort. There were 37 patients (58.7%) who received amivantamab concomitantly with osimertinib and 25 patients (39.1%) who received concomitant radiation. Furthermore, 54 patients were assessable for response in the overall population; 19 patients (45.2%) had clinical response and disease control rate (DCR) was 64.3%. In the classical mutation cohort of the 33 assessable patients, 12 (36.4%) had clinical response and DCR was 48.5%. In the atypical mutation cohort, six of the seven patients (85.7%) had clinical response and DCR was 100%. Of the 13 assessable patients in the exon 20 cohort, five patients (35.7%) had clinical response and DCR was 64.3%. Adverse events reported with amivantamab use were similar as previously described in product labeling. No additional toxicities were noted when amivantamab was given with radiation with or without osimertinib. CONCLUSIONS: Our real-world multicenter analysis revealed that amivantamab is a potentially effective treatment option for patients with EGFR mutations outside of exon 20 insertion mutations. The combination of osimertinib with amivantamab is safe and feasible. Radiation therapy also seems safe when administered sequentially or concurrently with amivantamab.

BACKGROUND: In the single-arm CHRYSALIS trial, advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (Exon 20ins) showed durable responses to amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody targeting tumors with EGFR Exon 20ins. This study compared the effectiveness of amivantamab to real-world systemic anti-cancer therapies in Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS: External control patients were selected by applying CHRYSALIS eligibility to Japanese patients from LC-SCRUM-Asia. External control patients were included for every qualifying line of therapy after platinum-based chemotherapy. Propensity score weighting was applied to external control patients to adjust for differences in baseline characteristics. Outcomes were compared between external control patients, and all and Asian-only CHRYSALIS patients using weighted Cox proportional hazards regression models for progression-free survival (PFS), time to next therapy (TTNT), and overall survival (OS), and generalized estimating equations with repeated measurements for overall response rate (ORR). RESULTS: One hundred fifteen CHRYSALIS and 94 external control patients were identified. Compared to external control patients, amivantamab-treated patients had significantly longer OS (median OS 19.88 vs 14.09 months, HR [95% CI] 0.59 [0.40-0.88]), PFS (median PFS 6.74 vs 4.73 months, HR 0.59 [0.45-0.78]), TTNT (median TTNT 12.16 vs 5.09 months, HR 0.39 [0.29-0.53]), and significantly higher ORR (41.7% vs 14.1%). Analyses of amivantamab-treated Asian patients (n = 61) showed similar clinical benefits. CONCLUSION: In the absence of clinical evidence from randomized clinical trials, this study reflects the benefit of amivantamab after platinum-based chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients harboring EGFR Exon 20ins, compared to current real-world therapies.

Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) Exon 20 insertions (Exon20ins) at the second line and beyond (2L+) have an unmet need for new treatment. Amivantamab, a bispecific EGFR- and MET-targeted antibody, demonstrated efficacy in this setting in the phase 1b, open-label CHRYSALIS trial (NCT02609776). The primary objective was to compare the efficacy of amivantamab to the choices made by real-world physicians (RWPC) using an external control cohort from the real-world evidence (RWE) chart review study, CATERPILLAR-RWE. Adjustment was conducted to address differences in prognostic variables between cohorts using inverse probability weighting (IPW) and covariate adjustments based on multivariable regression. In total, 114 patients from CHRYSALIS were compared for 55 lines of therapy from CATERPILLAR-RWE. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the amivantamab and IPW-weighted RWPC cohorts. For amivantamab versus RWPC using IPW adjustment, the response rate ratio for the overall response was 2.14 (p = 0.0181), and the progression-free survival (PFS), time-to-next-treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) hazard ratios (HRs) were 0.42 (p < 0.0001), 0.47 (p = 0.0063) and 0.48 (p = 0.0207), respectively. These analyses provide evidence of clinical and statistical benefits across multiple outcomes and adjustment methods, of amivantamab in platinum pre-treated patients with advanced NSCLC harboring EGFR Exon20ins. These results confirm earlier comparisons versus pooled national registry data.
RESUMO
Targeted therapies have revolutionized treatment for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with oncogenic driver mutations. However, challenges arise in managing concurrent mutations and overcoming resistance. We present the case of a patient with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (L747_A750delinsP exon19 deletion) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) mutations (D1228H, D1228N, D1228Y, Y1230H, MET amplification) who achieved a durable response to amivantamab (14 months ongoing) after progression on multiple lines of therapy including platinum-based chemotherapy, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and combination TKI and MET inhibitors. This case highlights the utility of longitudinal next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing to identify acquired resistance and the need for continued research into understanding mechanisms of resistance to help develop future treatment strategies.

Cancer is a complex disease that causes abnormal cell growth and spread. DNA mutations, chemical or environmental exposure, viral infections, chronic inflammation, hormone abnormalities, etc., are underlying factors that can cause cancer. Drug resistance and toxicity complicate cancer treatment. Additionally, the variability of cancer makes it difficult to establish universal treatment guidelines. Next-generation sequencing has made genetic testing inexpensive. This uncovers genetic mutations that can be treated with specialty drugs. AI (artificial intelligence), machine learning, biopsy, next-generation sequencing, and digital pathology provide personalized cancer treatment. This allows for patient-specific biological targets and cancer treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, CAR-T, and cancer vaccines are promising cancer treatments. Recent trial data incorporating these therapies have shown superiority in clinical outcomes and drug tolerability over conventional chemotherapies. Combinations of these therapies with new technology can change cancer treatment and help many. This review discusses the development and challenges of targeted therapies like monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), bispecific T cell engagers (BiTEs), dual variable domain (DVD) antibodies, CAR-T therapy, cancer vaccines, oncolytic viruses, lipid nanoparticle-based mRNA cancer vaccines, and their clinical outcomes in various cancers. We will also study how artificial intelligence and machine learning help find new cancer treatment targets.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with sensitizing oncogenic driver mutations benefit from targeted therapies. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are highly effective against classic sensitizing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, such as exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R point mutations. Conversely, EGFR exon 20 insertions (exon20ins) are resistant to the traditional EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). In May 2021, the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) provided accelerated approval to amivantamab (Rybrevant) in adults with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon20ins after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. Amivantamab was the first EGFR/MET bispecific antibody to be approved specifically for EGFR exon20ins where there was an unmet need. Furthermore, amivantamab is being evaluated in additional settings such as post osimertinib in sensitizing EGFR mutations as well as in MET altered NSCLC. Here we discuss amivantamab in regard to its mechanism of action, preclinical and clinical data, and clinical impact for patients with EGFR exon20ins NSCLC and beyond.
