Zipalertinib Plus Chemotherapy Achieves 14.5-Month PFS in Phase 3 EGFR Exon 20 NSCLC Trial

REZILIENT 3 establishes zipalertinib plus chemotherapy as a first-line option that doubles progression-free survival in EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC. The PFS benefit is robust across subgroups yet overall survival remains immature. Longer follow-up and confirmatory studies are required before practice guidelines can be updated.

Next data cuts will clarify whether the interim OS hazard ratio of 0.72 reaches significance and whether intracranial control persists beyond the 2 cm asymptomatic-lesion allowance. Ongoing trials combining zipalertinib with other backbones or in earlier stages will test durability of this first-line signal.

⚡ Prediction

VITALIS: Mature overall survival data from REZILIENT 3 will show HR below 0.65 by September 2027.
