First-Line Sunvozertinib in NSCLC with EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations
Abstract
BACKGROUND: ) exon 20 insertion mutations. Data are needed on the efficacy and safety of sunvozertinib as a first-line treatment for NSCLC. METHODS: exon 20 insertions to receive sunvozertinib or chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed). The primary end point was progression-free survival as assessed by blinded independent central review. Crossover to the sunvozertinib group was allowed after disease progression was confirmed. Secondary end points included overall survival, investigator-assessed progression-free survival, objective response (complete or partial response), change in tumor size, and duration of response. RESULTS: A total of 324 patients were randomly assigned to receive sunvozertinib (163 patients) or chemotherapy (161 patients). Treatment with sunvozertinib led to significantly longer median progression-free survival than chemotherapy (10.3 vs. 7.5 months; hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.50 to 0.85; P
