Updates in 9/2026 NCCN NSCLC Guidelines: sevabertinib as 1L option for HER2 mt NSCLC & daraxonrasib (off label at 200mg daily dosing) added to consider in pts with KRAS mutant NSCLC. In phase I/II, post chemo-IO, RR ~ 42%, DOR ~1y. Worth pursuing if no access to clinical trials.

🔥Germline EGFR T790M mutation & lung cancer risk — 3.3 million person study
🆙 @ScienceMagazine Science
🎯OR 25.18 (p=1.9×10⁻²⁴) for lung cancer
🎯No association with 17 other cancers
🎯Never-smokers: 60-fold increased risk
🎯Southern Appalachian founder effect ~200 years ago; carrier freq 1 in 2,078 in that region

🤔Is it really ICANS?
Rethinking tarlatamab neurotoxicity
🚨Our case report has just been published in JTO (@JTOonline).
jto.org/article/S1556-…
🧠 Severe neurotoxicity after tarlatamab in SCLC pt with brain mets can represent tumor inflammation-associated neurotoxicity
Can STK11 or KEAP1 co-mutations help us choose POSEIDON or CheckMate 9LA?
The biology is compelling—but the evidence is still evolving.
🔹 STK11 → Immune-cold tumors with poor response to PD-(L)1 monotherapy. Adding CTLA-4 blockade (tremelimumab/ipilimumab) may partially overcome resistance.
🔹 KEAP1 → Aggressive biology and poor prognosis. Dual checkpoint blockade may improve outcomes, but it does not eliminate the adverse impact.
🔹 TP53 → Often immune-hot, with higher TMB/PD-L1 and generally better responses to immunotherapy.
📌 Key takeaway: STK11 and KEAP1 are established negative prognostic biomarkers. Exploratory analyses from POSEIDON and CheckMate 9LA suggest dual checkpoint blockade may be beneficial—particularly in STK11-mutant NSCLC—but these findings remain hypothesis-generating. Current NCCN/ESMO/ASCO guidelines do not recommend selecting these regimens solely based on co-mutation status.
🧬 Biology informs our decisions, but evidence should guide our practice.

#WCLC26 | ADAURA 8-year OS update
📚 JTO full text: jto.org/article/S1556-…
🧬 Exploratory long-term follow-up of adjuvant osimertinib ×3 years after complete resection of EGFR-mutated stage IB–IIIA NSCLC (n=682)
🏆 Stage IB–IIIA:
• 8-y OS: 79% vs 64%
• HR 0.52 (95% CI 0.39–0.71)
→ 15% absolute OS gain
📊 Stage II–IIIA:
• 8-y OS: 74% vs 58%
• HR 0.53 (95% CI 0.38–0.75)
→ 16% absolute gain
🔎 Benefit remained consistent by stage:
• IB: 91% vs 77% | HR 0.50
• II: 78% vs 63% | HR 0.60
• IIIA: 70% vs 52% | HR 0.49
⏳ Longest OS follow-up reported from a global adjuvant Ph3 trial in EGFR-mutated early-stage NSCLC
Landmark, practice changing study at #WCLC26. The phase III MAVERICK study shows no improvement in OS with PCI for SCLC, across limited and extensive stages, with worse cognitive failure free survival and increased toxicity in PCI arm.
The end of the PCI era.
Dr. @MartinReck2 presents MDT-Bridge at #WCLC26: pts with resectable or borderline resectable NSCLC received 1-2 cycles of durvalumab + chemotherapy then surgery if resectable or CRT if not, followed by adjuvant/consolidation durvalumab. Of those with borderline resectable NSCLC, 62% underwent resection (97% R0). Overall resection rate 75% and 27% pCR rate.
PAPILLON: final OS
Chemo+Ami 1L EGFR Ex20 Ins
❗️76% X-over
✅mOS 34 v 27m, HR 0.87
✅X-over adjusted OS HR 0.57

Active, perhaps best OS data of 3 options (sunvo, zipa, ami) so far
Adjusted OS data exploratory IMO

#WCLC26
Featured during #WCLC26 🚨: ADAURA, a global phase III adjuvant trial in EGFR-mutated stage IB-IIIA NSCLC, saw the longest overall survival in any trial of its kind.
These landmark results only further characterize the established survival benefit of adjuvant osimertinib.
Read now: jto.org/article/S1556-…
8 year update of ADAURA at #WCLC26 from @DrRoyHerbst - with 3y of adjuvant osimertinib in EGFR mutant NSCLC, 8y OS rate 74% vs 58% with OS HR 0.53 and benefit seen across stages: stage IB HR 0.50, stage II HR 0.60, stage IIIA HR 0.49 - reaffirms standard of care.
