Article Title: REZILIENT3: Randomized phase III study of first-line zipalertinib plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated NSCLC
Abstract: There remains a significant unmet need for effective and tolerable treatments for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion (ex20ins) mutations in the first-line setting. First and later generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown efficacy for common EGFR mutations; however, their effectiveness against ex20ins mutations is limited, and platinum-based chemotherapy remains part of the standard of care. Data suggest that combining chemotherapy with EGFR inhibitors offers promise for EGFR ex20ins-mutated NSCLC. REZILIENT3 is an ongoing phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of zipalertinib (an orally available, irreversible EGFR-TKI) plus first-line standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy with chemotherapy alone in previously untreated patients with nonsquamous NSCLC harboring EGFR ex20ins mutations.
