Description
Dr. Navneet Singh highlights the latest evidence-based recommendation updates from the ASCO living guideline on stage IV non-small cell lung cancer with driver alterations. This update focuses on new second-line options for patients with advanced NSCLC and an EGFR exon 20 insertion, including amivantamab and mobocertinib. Dr. Singh also discusses updated results from CodeBreaK 200 and the option of second-line therapy with sotorasib for patients with advanced NSCLC and a KRAS-G12C mutation.

You can find all the shows, including this one at asco.org/podcasts.   My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I am joined by Dr. Navneet Singh from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, co-chair on “Therapy for Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with Driver Alterations: ASCO Living Guideline, Version 2023.2.” Thank you for being here, Dr. Singh.  Dr. Navneet Singh: Thank you for having me, Brittany. Brittany Harvey: Before we discuss this guideline, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the Guideline panel, including Dr. Singh, who has joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, which is linked in the show notes.  So then, to dive into this living clinical practice guideline, Dr. Singh, this living guideline for systemic therapy for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer with driver alterations is being routinely updated. What new studies were reviewed by the panel to prompt an update to the recommendations in this version? Dr. Navneet Singh: So for this 2023 version 2 update, three trials were included. These include two studies which involved patients with exon 20 insertion mutations, who had received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and subsequently were treated with either amivantamab in the CHRYSALIS trial or with mobocertinib in the EXCLAIM trial. The third trial which formed the basis for this update was one which involved patients with KRAS G12C mutation who had previously received systemic therapy and subsequently were treated with sotorasib. And this was the CodeBreaK 200 trial. Brittany Harvey: Understood. So then, based on these three new trials that you've just mentioned, what are the updated recommendations from the expert panel for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer? Dr. Navneet Singh: For patients with advanced NSCLC with an EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation and an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2 who have received prior platinum-based chemotherapy, clinicians may offer amivantamab or mobocertinib as monotherapy. It is important to mention here that in the absence of head-to-head comparison of amivantamab or mobocertinib with each other or with other standard second-line therapies, no recommendation for sequencing can be made and therefore treatment should be individualized. Now, use of either of the two drugs is based on low-quality evidence and has a weak strength of recommendation. And the updates for treating KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC is largely similar; that patients who have received prior
