Treating Second-Line NSCLC: The Efficacy of ADCs Targeting Predictive Biomarkers

Guest: Laura Alder, MD

The recent approval of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) has the potential to address unmet needs associated with second-line treatment options for non-small cell lung cancer, like limited benefits and substantial toxicity. But given the complex structure of ADCs, it’s important to identify biomarkers that can predict a patient’s response to therapy. That’s why the phase 1b TROPION-LUNG02 trial examined the effectiveness of Dato-DXd and HER3-DXd in the presence of predictive biomarkers. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to discuss the trial’s findings and implications is Dr. Laura Alder, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina.
