Polishetty wrote:
“Spectrum recently reiterated that data from the previously-treated exon 20 EGFR patient subset (cohort one) is on track to report data in 4Q19. As a reminder, Spectrum is investigating poziotinib in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically in patients harboring exon 20 mutations, which can be difficult to treat than some other forms of the disease. The company is conducting the ZENITH20 Phase II study in both treatment-naïve and previously-treated exon 20 NSCLC patients in cohorts one to four, which was recently expanded to include additional exploratory cohorts. We believe the data from cohort one will be instrumental for the company as it will set the tone for future exon 20 readouts (cohorts 2-4).”
