Patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer had a median event-free survival of 30.8 months in the durvalumab arm and 19.6 months in the placebo arm.

The benmelstobart combination reduced the risk of death by 39% vs placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

Findings from the PACIFIC-R trial showed that patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer experienced shorter progression-free survival with durvalumab than patients with EGFR-wildtype disease.

The confirmed objective response rate with repotrectinib was 79% among tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-naïve patients and 38% among TKI-pretreated patients.

The median progression-free survival was 25.5 months with osimertinib plus chemotherapy and 16.7 months with osimertinib alone.

The objective response rate with sacituzumab govitecan plus pembrolizumab was 56%.

Patrimumab deruxtecan garnered a 29.8% overall response rate in pretreated patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer.

Adagrasib elicited a 1-year overall survival rate of 52.8% and 2-year rate of 31.3%.

The median progression-free survival with iruplinalkib was 27.70 months vs 14.62 months with crizotinib.

Findings from the SHAWL study found that sexual dysfunction rates are high among women with lung cancer.

Sotorasib is often associated with a high rate of hepatotoxic events, most of which are from elevated liver enzymes. However, a lead-in dosing strategy may help address this adverse event and improve patient tolerability.

A study presented at the 2022 World Conference on Lung Cancer explored the experiences of patients who received checkpoint inhibition therapy for non–small cell lung cancer.

Patients with treatment-naive extensive-stage small cell lung cancer showed encouraging clinical responses with pembrolizumab and etoposide after multiple years of follow-up.

Phase 3 findings from the IMpower010 trial show that patients with resected non–small cell lung cancer may achieve an overall survival benefit with atezolizumab.

Extended follow-up data from 2 trials confirmed that larotrectinib yielded positive progression-free and overall survival outcomes for patients with NTRK-positive lung cancer.

Phase 1 findings showed a 50% overall response rate among patients with EGFR-mutated non–small cell lung cancer who received amivantamab in combination with lazertinib plus carboplatin and pemetrexed.

Patients with previously treated non–small cell lung cancer experienced a median overall survival of 16.9 months with second- or third-line tislelizumab vs 11.9 months with docetaxel.

Updates from the ongoing S1619 trial suggest that a triplet combination regimen of neoadjuvant cisplatin, pemetrexed, and atezolizumab is effective and tolerable in the treatment of patients with resectable pleural mesothelioma.

Patients with both COVID-19 and malignant pleural mesothelioma showed high rates of hospitalization and mortality.

International lung cancer clinical trial sites reported that flexibilities in time and place were effective strategies to mitigate COVID–19-related patient concerns and to increase participation.

Selectively targeting the EGFR exon insertion mutations was associated with improved outcomes in patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer.
