Objective To evaluate clinical data regarding the use of amivantamab and mobocertinib for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion mutation non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and assess their potential impact on the care of patients. Data Sources A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Clinicaltrials.gov was conducted using the terms amivantamab, Rybrevant, JNJ-61186372, mobocertinib, Exkivity, TAK-788. Study Selection and Data Extraction Relevant English-language clinical trials were evaluated. Data Synthesis Amivantamab and mobocertinib were Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved based on phases 1 and 2 studies. Amivantamab demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 40% and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 8.3 months. Patients commonly experienced rash (86%), paronychia (45%), and stomatitis (21%). Mobocertinib demonstrated an ORR of 28% and median PFS of 7.3 months in phase 1/2 study. Patients frequently experienced diarrhea (91%), rash (45%), and paronychia (38%). Cardiac monitoring is recommended with mobocertinib due to risk of QTc prolongation and cardiac failure. Relevance to Patient Care For NSCLC patients who possess an EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation, amivantamab and mobocertinib are indicated as second-line therapy. Ongoing studies are evaluating these therapies as first-line monotherapy and as part of combination regimens in multiple cancer types. Dosage forms, drug interactions, and patient comorbidities should be considered when deciding which of the 2 agents may be most appropriate. Conclusion Amivantamab and mobocertinib target an uncommon NSCLC mutation that has historically marked a poor prognosis because of innate resistance to previously approved EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Promising results from early phase trials supported accelerated FDA approval.
