Amivantamab for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Trial Summary
Amivantamab has been shown to be effective for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have a specific mutation called EGFR Exon 20 insertion, especially after other treatments like platinum-based chemotherapy have failed. It has been approved for use in the USA and has demonstrated antitumor activity in combination with chemotherapy.
12356Amivantamab is unique because it is a bispecific antibody that targets both EGFR and MET proteins, specifically designed for non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations, especially after other treatments like platinum-based chemotherapy have failed.
12356Amivantamab has been approved for use in certain lung cancer patients, but it can cause side effects like infusion-related reactions, rash, and nausea. It's important to discuss potential risks with your doctor.
12346The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you must not have received any systemic therapy, like chemotherapy or immunotherapy, within 21 days before joining the study, and you cannot receive any other cancer treatments while participating.
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has extra copies of the MET gene. They must have measurable disease, no other actionable cancer mutations, and should have tried at least one systemic treatment before. Participants need a recent CT or MRI scan and stable brain metastases if present.Inclusion Criteria
Participant Groups
- Locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations
- Locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations whose disease has progressed on or after treatment with an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor
- Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutations
