J&J gets CHMP nod for Rybrevant in first-line lung cancer

Johnson & Johnson’s Rybrevant is on the brink of EU approval as a treatment for a subset of patients with newly diagnosed EGFR-positive lung cancer, after a recommendation from the EMA’s human medicines committee.

The CHMP has recommended Rybrevant (amivantamab) for use alongside carboplatin and pemetrexed chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations.
