Episode Details

Tejas Patil, MD, assistant professor of medical oncology at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, talks with Robert A. Figlin, MD, about new targeted therapies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly tepotinib (Tepmetko) for MET exon 14 and sotorasib (Lumakras) for KRAS G12C. The MET exon 14 skip mutation has attracted renewed attention because tepotinib and capmatinib (Tabrecta), which both target this mutation, recently received FDA approvals. But MET can be disrupted in other ways, as well. Listen as Dr. Patil discusses the different types of MET alterations, how to identify MET activation in patients, and best practices for using tepotinib to treat MET activation that arises as a resistance mechanism to the EGFR inhibitor osimertinib (Tagrisso).
