Amivantamab-Chemotherapy in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with EGFR Exon 20 Insertions: Impact of Treatment Crossover and Other Endpoints from the Phase III PAPILLON Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: In the PAPILLON study, first-line amivantamab-chemotherapy in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion-mutated non-small cell lung cancer demonstrated significantly prolonged progression-free survival and favorable overall survival over chemotherapy; a consistent benefit was also observed across some secondary endpoints. However, the complete clinical benefit of first-line amivantamab-chemotherapy is not fully understood, nor is the survival advantage in the presence of per-protocol crossover from chemotherapy to amivantamab after progression. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) and time to subsequent therapy (TTST), at the time of primary analysis for progression-free survival, and the effect of the crossover design on overall survival at the time of interim analysis. METHODS: In the phase III PAPILLON study, 308 participants were randomized (amivantamab-chemotherapy, n = 153; chemotherapy, n = 155). Intravenous amivantamab was administered every 3 weeks. Chemotherapy was administered as carboplatin for four cycles and pemetrexed until disease progression. TTD and TTST were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards models. Crossover-adjusted survival estimates were generated using three established statistical methods. RESULTS: At a median follow-up of 14.9 months, median TTD was 13.2 versus 7.5 months for amivantamab-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.38 [95% confidence interval 0.28-0.51]; nominal p < 0.0001). Median TTST was 17.7 versus 9.9 months (HR 0.35 [95% confidence interval 0.25-0.49]; nominal p < 0.0001). A total of 65/155 participants crossed over from chemotherapy to amivantamab after progression. The crossover-adjusted overall survival continued to demonstrate a favorable survival benefit for amivantamab-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy with HRs of 0.52-0.60, which is more pronounced than the planned interim intention-to-treat overall survival (HR of 0.67; 95% confidence interval 0.42-1.09). CONCLUSIONS: In PAPILLON, TTD and TTST were substantially longer for amivantamab-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy at primary analysis (cut-off on 3 May 2023). Crossover-adjusted analyses of the planned interim overall survival demonstrated a greater benefit for amivantamab-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy, further supporting amivantamab-chemotherapy as the first-line standard of care in EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
