Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute – Landmark “Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Study” – Alexander I. Spira, MD, PhD, FACP 

Planned interim overall survival analysis showed a trend favoring the combination of RYBREVANT® and lazertinib compared to osimertinib* First pivotal study to show a clinically meaningful benefit in a chemotherapy-free regimen versus osimertinib  – See the press release below for details.

“Patients with treatment-naïve EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer have historically been treated with EGFR TKIs, but these agents invariably lead to resistance and disease progression when used as monotherapy,” said Alexander Spira †, M.D., Ph.D., FACP, Director, Virginia Cancer Specialists Research Institute, and study investigator. “These promising data from MARIPOSA underscore the potential for the RYBREVANT and lazertinib regimen to advance treatment beyond TKI monotherapy.”

Landmark Phase 3 MARIPOSA Study Meets Primary Endpoint Resulting in Statistically Significant and Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Progression-Free Survival for RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus Lazertinib Versus Osimertinib in Patients with EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (PRNewsfoto/Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson)
