Julia Rotow, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses the primary results from the phase III DESTINY-Lung04 trial, which evaluated first-line trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), a HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate, against pembrolizumab plus platinum chemotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic HER2-mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract PL03.08).
Giannis S. Mountzios, MD, of Henry Dunant Hospital Center, reviews primary results from the phase III EVOKE-03/KEYNOTE D46 trial, which evaluated first-line sacituzumab govitecan in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score of 50% or higher (Abstract PL02.06).
Ricardo Sales dos Santos, MD, PhD, of the ProPulmão Institute, discusses data from the Third Brazilian Early Lung Cancer Trial (BRELT3). The study found low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening using a mobile unit is feasible in socially vulnerable populations in resource-limited settings. Community-based recruitment, particularly through community health workers, improved the inclusion of high-risk and underserved groups, supporting the expansion of organized screening programs to promote equitable access and reduce lung cancer mortality (Abstract MO14.03).
Chul Kim, MD, of Georgetown Cancer Institute, reviews findings from the phase III PAPILLON study, which found that first-line amivantamab plus carboplatin/pemetrexed was associated with numerically longer overall survival compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (Abstract PL03.03).
Chad G. Rusthoven, MD, of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, presents results from the international phase III SWOG S1827 MAVERICK trial, which showed that brain MRI surveillance alone improved cognitive failure–free survival compared with MRI surveillance plus prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The findings support MRI surveillance alone as the standard of care for patients with SCLC (Abstract PL02.01).
Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, of Dartmouth Cancer Center, discusses 8-year overall survival data from the landmark ADAURA trial, which showed the sustained long-term benefit of adjuvant therapy with osimertinib for patients with completely resected, EGFR-mutated stage IB–IIIA non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Abstract PL03.01).
