Dr. @chulkimMD from @LombardiCancer presents final OS analysis on phase III PAPILLON trial: 1L amivantamab + chemo vs chemo alone for EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC at #WCLC26. Importantly, this trial permitted crossover for patients randomized to chemotherapy alone and 76% who progressed did crossover to ami. This has a major impact on OS but really is the right thing to do. The OS here was the longest reported to date for EGFRex20 at 34.3m vs 27.9m (HR 0.87, ns). IPCW adjusted survival to account for crossover showed an OS HR of 0.57.

HER2-mutant NSCLC: One of the most rapidly evolving fields! Three approved agents: zongertinib, sevabertinib, and T-DXd (first two now approved in 1L). DESTINY-Lung04 presented at #WCLC26. Ongoing randomized 1L trials will further reshape the landscape! @DDoroshow #DCLung26 https://t.co/3Om64OdZSv

Chul Kim on CROWN

Comprehensive overview of ALK fusion-positive NSCLC in 5 minutes by @Alfdoc2 #DCLung2026. Many excellent treatment options, but CROWN (lorlatinib vs. crizotinib) has passed the “truck test”! Novel agents like neladalkib and innovative approaches such as ALK vaccines emerging. https://t.co/Y8FHpgEKku

Seven-year follow-up of CROWN confirms the durability of first-line #lorlatinib in ALK+ NSCLC: 55% remain progression-free at 7 years, median PFS unreached, and intracranial control is unprecedented (HR for IC progression 0.06). A new benchmark in targeted therapy. #ASCO26 https://t.co/X1Vl4mTP53

Chul Kim’s Most-Engaged Posts in 2026

Their own 2026 posts that fellow physicians reposted most, quoted word for word.

Amivantamab + lazertinib achieved a median OS of 41.0 months in treatment-naïve atypical EGFR-mutant NSCLC, with no clear association between EGFR variant subtype and outcome. A compelling option. Meanwhile, amivantamab continues evaluation across multiple tumor types. #ASCO26 https://t.co/aWn3Ja60Ji

#ASCO26 ES-SCLC: Adding concurrent thoracic RT 30 Gy/10 fx to durvalumab + platinum/etoposide did not improve OS/PFS and increased AEs/TR deaths. Awaiting results from RAPTOR (NRG-LU007). https://t.co/NCYB7rH858
