Comparison of LAZCLUZE to Osimertinib

Last Updated: 11/24/2025

SUMMARY

  • LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).1
  • No prospective, randomized, head-to-head trials comparing the efficacy and safety of LAZCLUZE with osimertinib have been published.
  • MARIPOSA (NCT04487080) is an ongoing, phase 3, randomized study evaluating the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw) and LAZCLUZE combination therapy (open-label, n=429) vs osimertinib (double-blind, n=429) vs LAZCLUZE (double-blind, n=216) as first-line treatment in patients with EGFR-mutated (Exon 19 deletion [Exon19del] or Exon 21 L858R substitution) locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary endpoint (RYBREVANT plus LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib) is progression-free survival (PFS), based on blinded independent central review (BICR).1-3
    • The study was not designed to evaluate a statistical analysis between the LAZCLUZE and osimertinib arms.
    • LAZCLUZE monotherapy was administered to patients to evaluate the contribution of the components in the combination treatment.3
  • A randomized, double-blind, exploratory analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of single-agent LAZCLUZE (n=216) vs osimertinib (n=429) in patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC enrolled in the MARIPOSA study.4
    • At a median follow-up of 22 months, median PFS by BICR for LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib was 18.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.8-20.1) vs 16.6 months (95% CI, 14.8-18.5; hazard ratio [HR], 0.98 [95% CI, 0.79-1.22]; P=0.86).
    • Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were grade 1-2 in severity for LAZCLUZE and osimertinib. The most common TEAEs for LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib were diarrhea (32% vs 44%), rash (45% vs 31%), paronychia (29% vs 28%), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19, 20% vs 24%), and anemia (20% vs 21%).
    • Lower rates of cardiomyopathy (1% vs 4%) and QT interval prolongation (>450 msec, 9% vs 17%) were observed with LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib.
  • A real-world study evaluating the effectiveness of LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib in patients with advanced EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC has been published.5

cThe first infusion was split over 2 days (350 mg on C1D1, and the remainder on C1D2).
dPatients with asymptomatic or previously treated and stable brain metastases were eligible. Serial brain MRIs were required for all patients. Baseline brain MRI was required for all patients and performed ≤28 days prior to randomization; patients who could not have MRIs were allowed to have CT scans. Brain scan frequency was Q8W for the first 30 months and then Q12W thereafter for patients with a history of brain metastasis and Q24W for patients with no history of brain metastasis. Extracranial tumor assessments were conducted Q8W for the first 30 months and then Q12W until disease progression was confirmed by BICR.
eStatistical hypothesis testing included PFS and then OS.
fAssessed using EORTC-QLQ-C30 and NSCLC-SAQ.
gThis secondary endpoint will be presented at a future congress.
hAlso included death.

MARIPOSA Study: Exploratory Analysis

Study Design/Methods

  • A randomized, double-blind, exploratory analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of single-agent LAZCLUZE (n=216) vs osimertinib (n=429) in patients with EGFR-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC enrolled in the MARIPOSA study.4

Results

Patient Characteristics
  • The patient demographics and baseline characteristics are included in Table: Demographics and Baseline Disease Characteristics.
  • At a median follow-up of 22 months, the median duration of treatment for LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib was 17.1 months (range, 0.4-32.1) vs 18 months (range, 0.2-32.7).4
  • Overall, 106 (50%) patients in the LAZCLUZE arm and 213 (50%) patients in the osimertinib arm were still receiving the assigned treatment.4
  • The most common reasons for treatment discontinuation for LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib were progressive disease (72 [34%] vs 154 [36%]) and adverse events (AEs, 29 [14%] vs 50 [12%]).4

aThe OR was from a logistic regression model stratified by EGFR mutation type, Asian race, and history of brain metastasis; 95% CI widths have not been adjusted for multiplicity and cannot be used to infer definitive treatment effects.
bNumber of patients with measurable disease at baseline was 214 for LAZCLUZE and 414 for osimertinib.
cConfirmation was not required for CR and PR.
dAmong confirmed responders.

  • Median time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) was not estimable for the LAZCLUZE arm and 29.3 months (95% CI, 25.3-NE) for the osimertinib arm (HR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.65-1.13; P=0.27).4
  • Post-progression endpoints for LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib are summarized in Table: Post-progression Efficacy Endpoints.
  • Among patients who discontinued the study treatment, 77% in the LAZCLUZE arm and 73% in the osimertinib arm started a subsequent therapy. The most common first subsequent therapy class was chemotherapy alone in both arms.4
  • At the interim analysis, median overall survival (OS) for LAZCLUZE vs osimertinib was NE for both arms (HR, 1 [95% CI, 0.73-1.38]; P=1). Overall, 86% (95% CI, 81-90), 78% (95% CI, 71-83), and 71% (95% CI, 64-78) of patients in the LAZCLUZE arm and 88% (95% CI, 85-91), 79% (95% CI, 75-83), and 69% (95% CI, 64-74) of patients in the osimertinib arm were alive at 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months, respectively.4
