Treatment of Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with NRG1 Gene Fusion

Clinical Scenario
Rare Molecular Subtype

This protocol addresses patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in whom an NRG1 gene fusion has been identified. NRG1 gene fusions are rare, estimated to occur in less than 1% of patients diagnosed with NSCLC, and they define a distinct molecular subtype with specific therapeutic implications.

Molecular Criteria

Confirmed NRG1 gene fusion is the key molecular criterion for this patient population. The presence of this fusion is associated with responsiveness to a HER2/HER3 bispecific antibody, making molecular testing essential before treatment decisions are made.

Treatment Approach (Overview)

For patients with NRG1 gene fusion-positive advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease has progressed, a targeted bispecific antibody-based agent is included as a subsequent therapy option. The complete regimen details, eligibility criteria, and management algorithm are contained in the full structured protocol.
