Antonio Passaro: A significant milestone for the advancement and understanding of EGFR-mutated NSCLC
Antonio Passaro, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I am honored to have contributed, as investigator and author, to the MARIPOSA study, published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This is a significant milestone for the advancement and understanding of EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The study demonstrated that the combination of amivantamab and lazertinib for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC harboring common EGFR mutations, achieved significantly longer progression-free survival compared to osimertinib.
This improvement, confirmed across all clinical and biological high-risk factors (with the analysis published concurrently today in the Annals of Oncology), establishes this combination as the new standard of care for first-line treatment. Additionally, the subcutaneous use of amivantamab, as presented in the PALOMA-3 study, further enhances this treatment approach.
