Antonio Passaro: European Commission approves amivantamab
Antonio Passaro shared on LinkedIn:
“I’m proud to announce that, yesterday August 27, the European Commission has granted approval for amivantamab in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progressing on or after osimertinib (MARIPOSA-2 combo)
One year after the presidential presentation at ESMO23, this approval is a significant leap forward in our mission to provide innovative and effective treatments for patients facing this challenging diagnosis. It’s inspiring to see how science and dedication can come together to offer new hope and improved outcomes for those in need.
Being part of this journey is incredibly rewarding, and I’m grateful to contribute to a future where advanced therapies continue to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.”
