Patients with lung cancer resistant to oxytinib: amivantamab expands new indications

In May 2021, amivantamab received marketing approval from the U.S. FDA, primarily for the treatment of patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation NSCLC who have progressed during or after platinum-based chemotherapy.

On October 26, 2023, the official website of the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration of China announced that Johnson & Johnson's EGFR/c-Met bispecific antibody therapy, amivantamab, had submitted a marketing application and been formally accepted.

Janssen Pharmaceuticals is currently applying to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a new indication for its cutting-edge drug amivantamab, to treat lung cancer patients with EGFR 19/21 mutations who have progressed with resistance to osimertinib.

Clinical trial data show that novel dual or triple regimens of ervaltumab improved progression-free survival and significantly reduced the risk of disease progression and death in patients.
