Select Your Lung Cancer Subtype

2026 molecular classification: EGFR, KRAS G12C, ROS1, ALK, DLL3 — each requires a distinct pathway and country strategy.

🎯

EGFR+ NSCLC FLAURA2

EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer — Osimertinib + chemo = 47.5 months median OS

Osimertinib + Chemo FLAURA2 Protocol
🇩🇪 Germany 🇰🇷 Korea 🇸🇬 Singapore
$20K-$60K High
Why this matters: FLAURA2 trial showed 47.5 months median OS with Osimertinib + chemotherapy vs 36.7 months with Osimertinib alone. Germany, Korea, and Singapore offer premium access to this protocol.
🔬

KRAS G12C+ NSCLC BREAKTHROUGH

KRAS G12C mutation — Olumorasib + chemoimmunotherapy = 61% ORR, 90% DCR

Olumorasib Chemoimmunotherapy
🇨🇳 China 🇮🇳 India 🇰🇷 Korea
$10K-$30K High
Why this matters: KRAS was considered "undruggable" for decades. Olumorasib + chemoimmunotherapy now achieves 61% response rate and 90% disease control. India offers this at 75% less than US prices.
🧬

ROS1+ NSCLC

ROS1 fusion-positive — Zidesamtinib = 89% ORR (no prior TKI), 44% ORR (prior TKI)

Zidesamtinib Next-Gen TKI
🇩🇪 Germany 🇰🇷 Korea 🇨🇳 China
$20K-$60K High
Why this matters: Zidesamtinib is a next-generation ROS1 TKI with superior CNS penetration. 89% response rate in TKI-naive patients. Germany and Korea lead in access.

DLL3+ SCLC FDA 2025

DLL3-positive extensive-stage SCLC — Tarlatamab (bispecific antibody) FDA-approved 2025

Tarlatamab Bispecific Ab Chemoimmunotherapy
🇨🇳 China 🇮🇳 India 🇰🇷 Korea
$10K-$30K Critical
Why this matters: Tarlatamab is the first bispecific antibody approved for SCLC, targeting DLL3. China leads in access through trials. 80% cheaper than US prices.
🫁

Squamous NSCLC

Non-squamous restricted therapies not applicable — immunotherapy mainstay

Immunotherapy + Chemo PD-1/PD-L1
🇮🇳 India 🇨🇳 China 🇰🇷 Korea
$5K-$20K High
Why this matters: Squamous NSCLC has fewer targeted therapy options. Immunotherapy is the mainstay. India offers the lowest cost ($2,400-$9,600 for checkpoint inhibitors).
🧪

NSCLC CAR-T Trials

EGFR, PD-L1, MUC1, CEA, ROR1-targeted CAR-T in Phase 1/2 trials

CAR-T (EGFR/PD-L1) Phase 1/2 Trials
🇨🇳 China 🇮🇳 India 🇩🇪 Germany
$40K-$80K Medium
Why this matters: CAR-T for solid tumors is the next frontier. China leads with the most active trials. ORR: 20-30% for NSCLC. For patients who have exhausted standard options.
