Amivantamab: a Potent Novel EGFR/C-MET Bispecific Antibody Therapy for EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Review Lung Cancer Amivantamab: A Potent Novel EGFR/c-MET Bispecific Antibody Therapy for EGFR-mutated Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Matthew Z Guo,1 Kristen A Marrone,1 Alexander Spira,1,2 Kristine Freeman1,2 and Susan C Scott1 1. Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, Baltimore, MD, USA; 2. Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute, Fairfax, VA, USA; US Oncology Research, The Woodlands TX, USA hile the majority of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are sensitive to treatment with targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), anti-EGFR TKIs are susceptible to resistance mechanisms through Wsecondary mutations and also lack efficacy against tumours with non-classical EGFR mutations like exon 20 insertions. EGFR exon 20 insertions represent a challenging molecular subtype of NSCLC with no approved targeted therapy options and poor overall prognosis. Similarly, for NSCLC with EGFR mutations that are sensitive to TKIs, there are no approved targeted therapies following progression on a third-generation TKI without an alternative actionable mutation. Amivantamab is a novel, fully human bispecific anti-EGFR/c-MET antibody with clinical efficacy and favourable toxicity against both pre-treated EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC and classical EGFR mutations following development of TKI resistance. Preliminary findings from the phase I CHRYSALIS study report a 40% objective response rate with a median duration of response of 11.1 months for patients with pre-treated EGFR exon 20 insertion mutated tumours after platinum- based chemotherapy. Based on these results, the US Food and Drug Administration granted amivantamab accelerated approval in 2021 for treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. -
Treating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Treating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer If you've been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), your cancer care team will discuss your treatment options with you. It's important to weigh the benefits of each treatment option against the possible risks and side effects. How is non-small cell lung cancer treated? Treatments for NSCLC can include: ● Surgery for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ● Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ● Radiation Therapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ● Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ● Targeted Drug Therapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ● Immunotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer ● Palliative Procedures for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Common treatment approaches The treatment options for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are based mainly on the stage (extent) of the cancer, but other factors, such as a person’s overall health and lung function, as well as certain traits of the cancer itself, are also important. In many cases, more than one of type of treatment is used. ● Treatment Choices for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, by Stage Who treats non-small cell lung cancer? You may have different types of doctors on your treatment team, depending on the 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 stage of your cancer and your treatment options. These doctors could include: ● A thoracic surgeon: a doctor who treats diseases of the lungs and chest with surgery ● A radiation oncologist: a doctor who treats cancer with radiation therapy ● A medical oncologist: a doctor who treats cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy ● A pulmonologist: a doctor who specializes in medical treatment of diseases of the lungs Many other specialists may be involved in your care as well, including nurse practitioners, nurses, psychologists, social workers, rehabilitation specialists, and other health professionals. -

Kinase Drug Discovery 20 Years After Imatinib: Progress and Future Directions
REVIEWS Kinase drug discovery 20 years after imatinib: progress and future directions Philip Cohen 1 ✉ , Darren Cross 2 ✉ and Pasi A. Jänne 3 ✉ Abstract | Protein kinases regulate nearly all aspects of cell life, and alterations in their expression, or mutations in their genes, cause cancer and other diseases. Here, we review the remarkable progress made over the past 20 years in improving the potency and specificity of small-molecule inhibitors of protein and lipid kinases, resulting in the approval of more than 70 new drugs since imatinib was approved in 2001. These compounds have had a significant impact on the way in which we now treat cancers and non- cancerous conditions. We discuss how the challenge of drug resistance to kinase inhibitors is being met and the future of kinase drug discovery.
