Monday, September 11, 2023

SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced follow-up results from the Phase 1b/2 CHRYSALIS-2 study cohort evaluating the safety and tolerability of the combination of RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw), a bispecific antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), with lazertinib, an oral third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), plus platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) in patients with relapsed/refractory non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and EGFR mutations. These findings are being presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2023 World Congress on Lung Cancer (WCLC) from September 9-12 in Singapore.1

Key Points: 
  • Resistance in patients is typically diverse and polyclonal, meaning their tumors can have more than one type of resistance caused by different pathways.
  • Results from the RYBREVANT®, lazertinib and chemotherapy combination cohort (n=20), were featured in a mini oral presentation ( Abstract #MA13.06 ) at the IASLC 2023 WCLC.
  • Five patients were treated beyond progression, with a median incremental treatment duration of 4.2 months.
  • "These results provide important insights into the treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR-mutated disease who have progressed on the current standard of care.
