Key Points

  • In 2022, ASCO launched living clinical practice guidelines for systemic therapy for patients with stage IV non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with1 and without driver alterations.2 Based on new evidence from routine literature searches, this version of the stage IV non–small-cell lung cancer with driver alterations living guideline reviews evidence and provides updated recommendations on new therapeutics.

  • All patients with non-squamous NSCLC should have results of testing for potentially targetable mutations (alterations) prior to implementing therapy for advanced lung cancer, regardless of smoking status, when possible following other existing high quality testing guidelines.
  • This guideline includes recommendations regarding RET, MET, and NTRK alterations.
  • Chemotherapy is still an option at most stages.
  • This update (Recommendations 15.1 and 16.1) recommends the following for previously treated patients with HER2 or KRAS mutation:
    • Monotherapy treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan may be offered to patients with advanced NSCLC and an activating HER2, ERBB2 mutation who have received prior systemic therapy.
    • Monotherapy treatment with sotorasib may be offered to patients with advanced NSCLC and a KRAS-G12C mutation who have received prior systemic therapy
