The most common adverse reactions include rash, nail toxicity, infusion-related reactions (amivantamab), musculoskeletal pain, edema, stomatitis, venous thromboembolism, paresthesia, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, COVID-19 infection, hemorrhage, dry skin, decreased appetite, pruritus, nausea, and ocular toxicity.[2]

Lazertinib was approved for medical use in South Korea in January 2021,[4][5] and in the United States in August 2024.[2][6]

Medical uses

edit

Lazertinib is indicated in combination with amivantamab for the first-line treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations.[2]

History

edit

Efficacy was evaluated in MARIPOSA (NCT04487080), a randomized, active-controlled, multicenter trial of 1074 participants with exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease.[2] Participants were randomized (2:2:1) to receive lazertinib in combination with amivantamab, osimertinib monotherapy, or lazertinib monotherapy (an unapproved regimen for non-small cell lung cancer) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.[2]

Society and culture

edit
edit

Lazertinib was approved for medical use in the United States in August 2024.[2]
