Notes

~5-10% of EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Heterogeneous insertions in exon 20 — most lie outside the αC-helix, conferring steric block to standard TKIs. Amivantamab + chemo (PAPILLON, Zhou 2023) — NEJM, 1L; standard. Mobocertinib withdrawn by manufacturer in some markets — verify availability. Sunvozertinib (DZD9008) emerging. Watch for A763_Y764insFQEA variant — exception that retains standard TKI sensitivity.
