Amivantamab + Chemotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(PAPILLON Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy, as demonstrated by progression-free survival (PFS), in participants treated with amivantamab in combination with chemotherapy, versus chemotherapy alone in participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) characterized by EGFR Exon 20ins mutations.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is the combination of Amivantamab and chemotherapy safe for humans?
What makes the drug Amivantamab combined with chemotherapy unique for treating non-small cell lung cancer?
Amivantamab is unique because it is a bispecific antibody that targets both EGFR and MET, specifically designed for non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR Exon 20 insertion mutations, which are often resistant to other treatments. This combination with chemotherapy offers a novel approach for patients whose cancer has progressed after standard platinum-based chemotherapy.23456
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Amivantamab combined with chemotherapy for treating non-small cell lung cancer?
Amivantamab, when combined with chemotherapy drugs like carboplatin and pemetrexed, has shown antitumor activity in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic mutations (EGFR exon 20 insertions). This combination has been evaluated in clinical trials, demonstrating its potential effectiveness in treating this type of lung cancer.23457

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific mutation called EGFR Exon 20 insertion. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG status 0 or 1), and agree to genetic tests of their tumor. Women who can have children must test negative for pregnancy.Inclusion Criteria
