A highly important dataset to to come out of #WCLC24 and immediately implementable to minimise infusion reactions when using ami @GlopesMd
For those implementing the MARIPOSA-2 regimen of amivantamab + chemotherapy in #EGFR NSCLC post-osimertinib, highlighting the SKIPPirr study from #WCLC24 by Dr. @GlopesMd: dexamethasone 8mg po bid starting 2d before IV amivantamab led to IRR rate of 22.5% (historically 67.4%).
