Success factors in oncology drug development: Regional perspectives on amivantamab and NBTXR3

24 Sep 2025 by

At an industry-sponsored symposium during the European Society for Medical Oncology Targeted Anticancer Therapies Asia Congress (ESMO TAT Asia) 2025 in Hong Kong, regional experts reflected on pioneering oncology drug development. Dr Jii Bum Lee of Yonsei Cancer Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea, discussed the unique translational and clinical journey of amivantamab, an EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, which was first established as a treatment for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion (exon20ins) mutations. Dr Herbert Loong of the Chinese University of Hong Kong shared the experience of advancing NBTXR3, a novel hafnium oxide–based nanoparticle radiosensitizer, into the clinic, underscoring the necessity of multidisciplinary collaboration for success.

Advances in ROS1-positive NSCLC treatment landscape

23 Sep 2025 by

ROS1 rearrangement is an actionable mutation present in 2–3 percent of Chinese patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At an industry-sponsored meeting chaired by Dr Herbert Loong of the Department of Clinical Oncology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), experts discussed challenges in ROS1-positive NSCLC management, presented clinical data and shared real-world experience of using repotrectinib, a next-generation ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), in TKI-naïve and -experienced patients.

Achieving deep PSA response and early management of skin rash in a mHSPC patient treated with ADT plus ARPI

23 Sep 2025 by

A 72-year-old retired male construction worker, who was an ex-smoker and social drinker and had good past health, presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and back pain in December 2023. Subsequent testing revealed an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 19 ng/mL. A 12- core transrectal prostate biopsy carried out on 9 January 2024 showed tumour infiltration of >90 percent across all cores, with a Gleason score of 5+4, and perineural invasion.
