In participants with atypical EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, amivantamab-lazertinib demonstrated clinically meaningful antitumor activity with no new safety signals.
This study represents the largest cohort of NSCLC patients with EGFR G719X + S768I co-mutations treated with first-line afatinib. Our findings confirmed the effectiveness and safety of afatinib in this patient population. Furthermore, the presence of the G719X + S768I co-mutations serves as an independent predictor of favorable PFS for NSCLC patients. This study will provide new clinical evidence supporting afatinib therapy for patients with EGFR G719X + S768I co-mutations, both in China and globally. This study fills an important gap in the existing literature by providing robust, large-scale clinical data, offering new insights for the treatment of NSCLC patients with these uncommon mutations.
Furthermore, patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma undergoing treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors exhibited a significantly extended survival rate compared with those with wild-type EGFR receiving chemotherapy. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that immunohistochemistry with pleural effusion cell blocks can aid in clarifying the histological subtype of lung cancer, and enable EGFR mutation detection, which can effectively guide molecular targeted therapy.
First-line osimertinib may provide real-world clinical benefits for patients with advanced NSCLC with atypical EGFR mutations, with results suggesting greater benefit in those harboring compound EGFR mutations.

EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) • ALK (Anaplastic lymphoma kinase) • EML4 (EMAP Like 4) • KIF5B (Kinesin Family Member 5B) • TPM3 (Tropomyosin 3) • HIP1 (Huntingtin Interacting Protein 1)
The median duration of response was 16.1 months (95% CI: 10.3-NR) with a median follow-up time of 16.8 months.ConclusionAfatinib demonstrated encouraging efficacy in NSCLC patients with nonmajor uncommon EGFR mutations other than G719X, S768I, and L861Q, regardless of whether the mutations were solitary or compound. Comprehensive EGFR mutation profiling is crucial for identifying uncommon EGFR mutation patients likely to benefit significantly from afatinib.

The growth inhibitory effects of five novel 3G-TKIs, almonertinib, lazertinib, furmonertinib, rezivertinib, and befotertinib, in addition to currently available TKIs, were evaluated. In conclusion, afatinib exhibited broad activity and some 3G-TKIs showed promising efficacy in the front-line setting. Lazertinib is a potential second-line option after acquisition of resistance to afatinib or osimertinib.
Significant associations were found between geographic origin, age, and sex with EGFR mutation status. This study confirms substantial genetic variability and geographical differences in EGFR mutations among Indonesian lung adenocarcinoma patients, emphasizing the urgent need for further research to prompt enhanced molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies in the region.
The patient exhibited disease progression despite sequential treatment with EGFR TKIs, including osimertinib, afatinib, and mobocertinib, in combination with chemotherapy. The treatment strategy was then shifted to immunotherapy with pembrolizumab alongside carboplatin and paclitaxel, leading to a remarkable response...This case challenges the conventional paradigm that EGFR-mutated NSCLC does not benefit from immunotherapy, highlighting the potential for an alternative treatment approach in rare subtypes such as PSC. Our findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive molecular profiling and a personalized treatment strategy to optimize outcomes in aggressive and refractory lung cancers.
EGFR mutation subtypes and PD-L1 expression seem to affect treatment outcomes and survival in NSCLC. The observed links emphasize the potential value of combining molecular and immunological markers to guide therapy choices.
