    Targeted Therapies

    Although RAS mutations constitute some of the most common genetic alterations in patients with adenocarcinomas, efforts to target the RAS oncoprotein have not proven fruitful, not only in NSCLC but across all cancers. In fact, researchers have been searching for an effective RAS inhibitor for more than 3 decades, leading many to believe that RAS…

    Mobocertinib May Offer Effective, Safe Treatment in NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutation

    Targeted Therapies, WCLC 2020 Archive, WCLC News

    With no approved treatments for advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, treatment is mainly limited to chemotherapy, as these cancers don’t respond to traditional tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). But previously treated patients with this rare subtype responded to mobocertinib, with a manageable safety profile, in a phase I/II trial discussed during (OA04: New…
