So honored to have been interviewed! Thank you @jamecancerdoc @ASCOPost and looking forward to #ASCO25 @ASCO @OncoAlert @IMG_Oncologists @HemOncWomenDocs @IASLC @PennCancer @PennMDForum
It was my pleasure to talk to @CharuAggarwalMD and learn about her amazing journey from New Delhi to Philadelphia and leadership at @ASCO !! ascopost.com/news/may-2025/… @ASCO @ASCOPost @OncoAlert
FLAURA2 press release: addition of chemotherapy to 1L osimertinib in #EGFR NSCLC improves overall survival. Already approved based on significant PFS benefit. Awaiting data to see degree of OS benefit to consider vs MARIPOSA. Important positive update! astrazeneca.com/media-centre/p…
FDA grants accelerated approval for datopotamab deruxtecan, anti-TROP2 ADC, for #EGFR mutant NSCLC after prior TKI and chemotherapy. An active agent, based on TROPION-Lung01 and 05. Important toxicities include stomatitis and ocular effects. ascopost.com/news/june-2025…
New @US_FDA accelerated approval: Dato-DXd for EGFR+ NSCLC after prior EGFR therapy + platinum chemo. ▫️n=114, TROPIONLung01&05 ▫️ORR: 45% ▫️DoR: 6.5 mo ⚠️ ILD, ocular AEs, stomatitis, embryo-fetal risk @OncoAlert #lcsm
Datopotamab deruxtecan (DatoDXd - Trop2 ADC) now @FDAOncology approved off #TROPIONLung01 & 05 for previously treated mEGFR NSCLC - ORR of 42.7%, mDoR 7.0 mos - mPFS: 5.8 mos and mOS 15.6 mos - AEs: Nausea, stomatitis, and ILD #lcsm #OncTwitter @US_FDA
On June 23, 2025, the FDA granted accelerated approval to datopotamab deruxtecan-dlnk for adults with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell #LungCancer ( #NSCLC ) who have previously received EGFR-directed therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy.…
FDA approves taletrectinib for #ROS1 NSCLC based on TRUST I and TRUST II trials showing 1L RR 85-90% with 63-72% of responses lasting ≥12 months and post TKI, RR 52-62%. Taletrectinib has selectivity over TrkB so should have less neurotoxicity. fda.gov/drugs/resource…
In this episode of the @IASLC podcast, Lung Cancer Considered, I am joined by Drs. @NarjustFlorezMD @CharuAggarwalMD @FordePatrick to discuss the most impactful lung cancer studies from #ASCO25. Available wherever you download podcasts! iaslc.org/iaslc-news/lun…
#RapidUpdates from #ASCO25! This is a must listen quick update in #LungCancer w/ @StephenVLiu @NarjustFlorezMD @FordePatrick @IASLC @ASCO @PennCancer
Watch for the next episode of the @IASLC podcast, Lung Cancer Considered, for #ASCO25 highlights. Dr. @NarjustFlorezMD and I discuss the most impactful studies from ASCO with Dr. @FordePatrick and Dr. @CharuAggarwalMD. Be sure to listen!
~13yrs of neoadjuvant adventure comes to positive conclusion (for now)! In @NEJM today & presented at #ASCO25 5 yr survival for pts w lung cancer that can be removed by surgery is better with just 3 doses of immunotherapy before the operation! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #LCSM 1/
🚨If you were not at #ASCO25 for ASCO Highlights today, you must stream @lungoncdoc excellent presentation! Very informative!
Thoughtful discussion in our #ASCO25 session on perioperative approaches in #NSCLC, including rare drivers and hard-to-treat genotypes— alongside stellar faculty @CharuAggarwalMD & @kaushalpar. @ASCO @DanaFarberNews @NarjustFlorezMD @OncoAlert @MarceloCorassa @DanaFarber

Time to Back to the ward. With more knowledge. More energy. More courage. Thank you #ASCO25 for 5 unforgettable days—full of learning, connection, and hope. See you soon 💙 @ASCO @OncoAlert #oncology #cancer @DrChoueiri @yekeduz_emre @DanaFarber @CParkMD @neerajaiims…
Great talk by the amazing @CharuAggarwalMD about definition of curative therapy in patients with "common" AGAs, in other words, EGFR/ALK. We are still trying to understand exactly TKIs are going to fit in patients candidates to surgery. #ASCO25
This is going to be a great session with @CharuAggarwalMD @kaushalpar!! Biomarker testing absolutely matters even in early-stage disease for patients with NSCLC! #ASCO25 @ASCO
🔍 Genomics meets the OR in #NSCLC at #ASCO25! Explore how EGFR, ALK, KRAS, RET & more shape perioperative strategies & surgical planning. Precision medicine is rewriting the playbook for early-stage lung cancer @CharuAggarwalMD @kaushalpar
#ASCO25 @ASCO has been incredible - breadth and depth of research presented by @PC3Innovation @PennCancer @PennMedicine @PennMDForum Here is a quick recap! tinyurl.com/49yvc65f #LCSM #QoL #AI #FinancialToxicity @Ron_cology @lynn_schuchter @MMarmarelis

Was so good to see you! Hope to see you soon, congrats on a terrific meeting! @ASCO #ASCO25 @AmandaBinDC @sarah_c_hopkins
Back home...feeling inspired and energized by colleagues, volunteers, friends, members - the whole #ASCO25 community. Only wish I had more time to connect!!
#ASCO25 Dr. @charlesrudin presents interim analysis of DeLLphi-304: randomized phase II study of tarlatamab (DLL3 TCE) vs 2L chemo in #SCLC. Chemo was mostly topotecan; 45% of pts were platinum resistant. Clear OS benefit with HR 0.60 (13.6m vs 8.3m). PFS 4.2 vs 3.7m, HR 0.71.
