1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionUncommon EGFR mutations comprise 10% to 20% of all EGFR mutations in NSCLC and generally report reduced responsiveness to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Lazertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has found efficacy in common EGFR mutations, but its potential in uncommon mutations remains unexplored. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of lazertinib in patients with NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations.

methodThis single-arm, multicenter phase II trial enrolled patients with advanced NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations excluding exon 20 insertions. Patients received lazertinib 240 mg daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DoR), and safety.

resultsAmong 36 patients enrolled, the ORR was 50.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34.5%-65.5%), with 18 partial responses, meeting the primary end point. Disease control rate was 88.9% (95% CI: 74.1%-96.2%). Patients with major uncommon mutations (G719X, L861Q, S768I) reported an ORR of 54.8% (17/31). Median PFS was 10.8 months (95% CI: 4.4-19.2), and median DoR was 15.1 months. G719X mutations reported the highest response (ORR 61%, median PFS 20.3 months), followed by S768I (ORR 60%) and L861Q (ORR 58%, median PFS 9.5 months). Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in all patients, with grade 3 or higher events in 33.3%; most common were rash (47.2%), pruritus (36.1%), and muscle spasms (33.3%).

conclusionsLazertinib reported promising efficacy and a manageable safety profile in patients with NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations, particularly for G719X, S768I, and L861Q subtypes. These results suggest lazertinib could be an effective treatment option for this heterogeneous patient population with limited therapeutic alternatives.
