Stephen V Liu shared on X a recent paper by Collin M. Blakely et al. titled “Neoadjuvant Osimertinib for the Treatment of Stage I-IIIA Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Mutated Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase II Multicenter Study” published in ASCO Publications.
Authors: Collin M. Blakely, Anatoly Urisman, Matthew A. Gubens, Claire K. Mulvey, Greg M. Allen, Stephen C. Shiboski, Julia K. Rotow, David M. Jablons et al. .
“Phase II study of neoadjuvant osimertinib for resectable EGFR NSCLC Journal of Clinical Oncology from Dr. Collin Blakely et al. MPR rate only 14.8% with no pCR observed in 27 pts. Radiographic RR 52%. Osimertinib did not delay or negatively impact surgery.
Not seeing immunotherapy type responses but this will be important work to continue. If we can understand how cancer cells survive and persist, we can develop better strategies to eliminate them (in both early and late stage). Here, TP53 and RBM10 mutations commonly seen.”
