Announcement
Guardant Health, Inc announced that the results of the Phase III SERENA-6 trial - sponsored by AstraZeneca - demonstrate the clinical value of the Guardant360® CDx test in a circulating tumor DNA-guided approach to detect and treat emerging resistance in 1st-line therapy ahead of radiological disease progression in breast cancer.
AI Summary
Guardant Health announced positive results from the Phase III SERENA-6 trial, sponsored by AstraZeneca. The trial showed that using the Guardant360® CDx test in a circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-guided approach can detect emerging endocrine resistance in advanced breast cancer patients before it appears on radiological scans. Specifically, the test identified the emergence of ESR1 mutations in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. After detecting the mutation, patients switched from their current aromatase inhibitor therapy to AstraZeneca’s camizestrant, while continuing treatment with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor. This early switch in treatment led to a 56% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death, highlighting the clinical value of using ctDNA monitoring with the Guardant360® CDx test. The study’s findings suggest that this liquid biopsy approach can change clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.

Announcement
Johnson & Johnson announced results for the gold standard endpoint in cancer treatment of overall survival (OS) from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study. Head-to-head comparison data versus osimertinib showed RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) significantly extended OS in the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution mutations.
AI Summary
Johnson & Johnson announced positive overall survival (OS) results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study. This study compared the combination of RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) versus osimertinib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitutions. The head‐to‐head data showed that the combination significantly extended OS, with the median not yet reached and a projected improvement of over one year beyond the three-year median observed with osimertinib.
The trial positions RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE as a promising first-line treatment option for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. These findings mark the first study to demonstrate a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS benefit over the current standard therapy, offering hope for improved survival and quality of life for lung cancer patients.

Announcement
Johnson & Johnson announced updated results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 study which showed RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) combined with chemotherapy led to consistent benefit across post-progression outcomes in adult patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution mutations.
AI Summary
Johnson & Johnson announced updated results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 study showing that RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) combined with chemotherapy provided consistent benefits in post-progression outcomes for adult patients with previously treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitution mutations.
The study reported that at an 18-month follow-up, 50% of patients receiving the combination were still alive compared to 40% treated with chemotherapy alone, indicating a positive trend toward improved overall survival. Additionally, the data showed a significant extension in median time to treatment discontinuation and a reduction in the risk of symptomatic progression, along with a longer time to the next therapy. These improvements suggest that the RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy regimen may offer a new, promising option for patients with limited treatment alternatives after previous therapies.

, Johnson & Johnson announced results from the open-label Phase 2 SKIPPirr study, which evaluated additional prophylactic strategies to reduce the incidence of infusion-related reactions (IRRs) with intravenous (IV) Rybrevant (amivantamab-vmjw) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution mutations.
AI Summary
Johnson & Johnson announced promising results from its open-label Phase 2 SKIPPirr study. This study evaluated an enhanced pre-medication regimen using 8‑mg dexamethasone to reduce infusion-related reactions (IRRs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R substitution mutations. In the study, patients received dexamethasone twice daily for two days before their first infusion of intravenous Rybrevant, which led to a 22.5% rate of IRRs.
This represents a significant three-fold reduction compared to the 67.4% incidence historically observed with standard IRR management. The findings indicate that this easily accessible prophylactic strategy can improve the treatment experience by lowering the occurrence of IRRs, ensuring patients can continue therapy with fewer interruptions.

AI Summary
Johnson & Johnson recently shared longer follow-up results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, which evaluated a chemotherapy-free treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 19 deletions or L858R mutations. The study showed that first-line treatment with the combination of RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) and LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) provided consistent long-term benefits compared to osimertinib monotherapy. At nearly three years of follow-up, patients on the RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE™ regimen demonstrated an improved overall survival trend. By targeting both the EGFR and MET pathways, this combination therapy offers the potential for prolonged disease control and improved survival outcomes in patients with this specific type of NSCLC. Future ongoing assessments will continue to monitor these long-term outcomes and further support the benefit of the combination therapy.
