Ahmet Dirican: New Targeted Option for HER2-Mutant NSCLC

Ahmet Dirican, Professor of Medical Oncology at Medicana International İzmir Hospital, shared a post on X:

“HER2-mutant NSCLC: A new targeted option emerges.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to zongertinib (Hernexeos) for patients with unresectable or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC harboring HER2 (ERBB2) tyrosine kinase domain mutations.

Approval is based on the Beamion LUNG-1 trial.

Key results:

  • ORR: 76%
  • ≥6-month response duration: 64%
  • ≥12-month response duration: 44%

Zongertinib is a HER2-selective kinase inhibitor, representing another step forward in the expanding landscape of targeted therapies for oncogene-driven lung cancer.”
