RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) plus LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) with prophylactic strategies shows low rates of treatment-related events at WCLC 2026
The phase 2b COPERNICUS study found fewer than 1% of patients stopped treatment because of side effects at one year, Johnson & Johnson said.
On Monday, Johnson & Johnson announced new Phase 2b COPERNICUS study findings evaluating RYBREVANT FASPRO plus LAZCLUZE with prophylactic strategies in patients with previously untreated advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
COPERNICUS uses a pragmatic design reflecting everyday clinical practice, enrolling a racially and ethnically diverse patient population across academic and community sites while testing less frequent dosing and enhanced dermatologic prophylaxis.
Rash, administration-related reactions, and venous thromboembolism occurred in 25 percent, three percent, and three percent of patients, respectively; these rates were lower than the 55 percent, 55 percent, and 23 percent observed during the first four months of the MARIPOSA study.
"These latest results mark an important evolution in the treatment approach," said Balazs Halmos, Director of Thoracic Oncology at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center.
These findings strengthen evidence for the regimen as a first-line treatment and reflect Johnson & Johnson's continued focus on improving how cancer therapies are delivered and managed in everyday clinical settings.
