FRONT-BRAF study: first-line PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors achieved median OS of 40.9 months vs 25.2 months with BRAF/MEK inhibitors in metastatic BRAF V600E+ #NSCLC 🚬 Greater benefit found in smokers & ages 70+ Authors: @DiFedericoMD, @Biagio_Ricciut, et al https://t.co/54AXyveClK

Report @JTOonline on DLL3 expression in #EGFR NSCLC after #SCLC transformation. DLL3 positive in 11/12 patients. Two of these patients received tarlatamab (one with osimertinib) with clinical benefit. Need prospective data here! https://t.co/FmnOO32AYR

🚨 Excited to share our 2 new studies published today in @TheLancetOncol — one offering deeper insight into refining #ICI for PD-L1–negative & 🧬#STK11-mutant #NSCLC, and the other exploring #ICI vs 💊#BRAF/MEKi in #BRAF V600E #NSCLC. @OncoAlert @IASLC #LCSM. /W✨@DiFedericoMD✨

Proud to share our first TRACERx cancer study integrating epigenomics + genomics in NSCLC as co-drivers of tumor evolution. Led by not me but by the wonderful @NnennayaKanu, @F_gimenoval, @ccastignani6, @VanLooLab

🫁 Dr @collin_blakely @UCSFCancer presents MRD analysis from NeoADAURA #WCLC25 🔹 Osimertinib & osimertinib+chemo improved MRD clearance & reduced MRD detection pre-surgery vs. chemo 🔹Pre-surgical MRD clearance & MRD not detected associated with MPR #LCSM #LungCancer @IASLC

Exciting #ARROS1 phase 1/2 trial results of #zidesamtinib in ROS+ mNSCLC #WCLC25 @alexdrilon 💠Active in heavily pretreated pts: ORR 44% after 1-4 prior ROS1 TKIs; 51% after 1 prior TKI (criz or entrect) 💠Responses after prior repotrectinib & taletrectinib; active against G2032R

Dr. Jonathan Goldman presents the HARMONi data at #WCLC25. In EGFR NSCLC post TKI, adding ivonescimab (VEGF/PD1 bispecific) improves PFS (4.4 to 6.8m, HR 0.52). Numeric difference in OS in Western pts, but complicated analysis in heterogenous group. Improvement over MARIPOSA2?

The new FLAURA2 OS data presented at #WCLC25 is exciting - nearly four years of median OS with osimertinib + chemotherapy is remarkable progress for our community! Alongside the MARIPOSA data, it's essential to remember -- this isn't about competition. There is no

FLAURA2 trial: Osi + CT improves PFS & OS (⬇️ 23% risk death) vs Osi alone in mEGFR NSCLC. Qx: -Intensification for all pts? Benefit in some subgroups only (Brain) -Chemo or ami for intensification?toxicity QoL, relevant for decisions -Cost -Is Osi alone no more valid? #WCLC2025

#HARMONi: #Ivonescimab + chemo vs chemo in EGFRm NSCLC post–3rd gen TKI - PFS: 6.8 vs 4.4 mo (HR 0.52, p<0.0001) - OS: 16.8 vs 14.0 mo (HR 0.79, p=0.057) Will we see tail of the curve? The role of IO remains to be further defined in EGFRm NSCLC. #wclc2025

Well. I think the first line discussion is over.
The key slide from #WCLC25
#FLAURA2 OS 👇🏽 1L osimertinib + chemo with superior OS vs osi alone 🔹 Median OS: 47.5 mo (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.61–0.96; p=0.02) 🔹 “Longest OS ever in a global phase 3 EGFRm NSCLC trial” @OncoAlert @LungCancerRx @IASLC

A 12 month delta. Nuff said.
Eventually we have the OS data from FLAURA2 presented by @dplanchard at #wclc25! Reassuring to see, that postPD treatment in the exp arm among progressors went 46%➡️69% ->platinum rechallenge is a feasible option, challenging the postPD lack of choices! @IASLC
