Subcutaneous amivantamab compares favourably with intravenous dosing in EGFR-mutant NSCLC
In previously treated patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), subcutaneous (SC) amivantamab combined with lazertinib shows noninferior pharmacokinetic and efficacy profiles compared with the approved intravenous (IV) formulation of amivantamab, according to the phase III PALOMA-3 trial.
