A narrative review of antibody-drug conjugates in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: In the past 15 years, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment has changed with the discovery of mutations and the development of new targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was the first mutation in NSCLC to have a drug that was FDA-approved in 2013. Osimertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is approved as first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC and in the adjuvant setting for Stage IB-IIIA resected NSCLC. However, resistance to osimertinib is inevitably an issue, and thus patterns of resistance to EGFR-mutated NSCLC have been studied, including MET amplification, EGFR C797X-acquired mutation, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) amplification, and transformation to small cell and squamou
