Would you consider patritumab deruxtecan on clinical trial instead of chemotherapy for patients with EGFR+ lung cancer progressive on osimertinib?

A phase 1 trial was recently published showing a response rate of 39% in patients who had progressed on prior TKI and a median progression-free...

Osimertinib resistance can be due to on-target resistance, due to upregulation of bypass signaling pathways, or due to histologic transformations. (Piper-V...
