Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zongertinib in untreated patients with advanced HER2-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Clinical trial design focusing on previously untreated patients
Assessment of treatment-related adverse events
Evaluation of drug efficacy over time
Zongertinib shows sustained efficacy in advanced or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC
Adverse events related to treatment were mostly low-grade

Implication

Clinical trials find zongertinib demonstrates efficacy in advanced HER2-mutant lung cancer, indicating potential treatment success.

Abstract

Zongertinib showed sustained efficacy in previously untreated patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC. Treatment-related adverse events were predominantly low-grade. (Funded by Boehringer Ingelheim; Beamion LUNG-1 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04886804.).
