Excerpt

This issue includes a report of a case of MET-amplified neuroendocrine cancer detected by gene panel testing that responded to capmatinib [1]. Capmatinib is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for non-small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14 skipping. However, capmatinib is not approved for MET amplification. Capmatinib was given to this patient under the Patient Application for Multiple Molecularly Targeted Therapies Based on Gene Profiling by Gene Panel Testing programme (jRCTs031190104) [2]. This case report is a good example of the discovery of a novel molecularly targeted therapy based on gene panel testing. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on antibody–drug conjugates in cancer

Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel agents that have shown promise across multiple tumor types. Explore the current landscape of ADCs in breast and lung cancer with our experts, and gain insights into the mechanism of action, key clinical trials data, existing challenges, and future directions.
