The panelist discusses how, expanding clinical trials, biomarker testing, and financial support improves access to emerging EGFR therapies. Novel bispecific antibodies and ADCs may shift treatment. Key insights include resistance monitoring and proactive AE management.

The panelist discusses how, Healthcare professionals use osimertinib 1L for EGFR-mutated NSCLC, re-testing at progression for resistance mutations. MARIPOSA data refine 1L choices by predicting resistance pathways, guiding optimal sequencing.

The panelist discusses how, Healthcare professionals manage distinct toxicities with ami+laz (IRRs, rash) and osi+chemotherapyctx (cytopenias, diarrhea, fatigue). SKIPPirr informs IRR mitigation in ami’s first infusion. Proactive AE strategies include premedication, dose adjustments, supportive care, and monitoring.

The panelist discusses how, regarding the patient case, she will review the FDA approved options for the patient, including the combination of amivantamab + Lazertinib, osimertinib/chemotherapy, or single agent osimertinib.

The panelist discusses how, when discussing first-line treatment decisions for cancer patients, healthcare professionals primarily consider patient-specific factors like disease stage, molecular profile, comorbidities, and performance status. When discussing options with high-risk patients, healthcare professionals typically take a shared decision-making approach, thoroughly explaining both potential benefits and side effect management strategies. These conversations weigh factors like quality-of-life impact, monitoring requirements, and individual patient preferences to arrive at an optimal treatment strategy.

Panelists discuss how; the patient case presents a 47-Year-Old Woman with EGFR-mutated Advanced/Metastatic NSCLC. The patient presents to her primary care physician (PCP) with continued dry cough, dyspnea, and weight loss. She has a history of hypertension, previously managed on an ACE inhibitor, but is now on atenolol.
