Positive Results for Hernexeos in NSCLC Treatment

A phase 3 trial is underway for Hernexeos (zongertinib) as a first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with HER2 mutations.

Positive results were reported at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress meeting in Berlin, showing promise for Hernexeos in treating NSCLC with HER2 mutations.

The FDA granted accelerated approval to Hernexeos in August 2025 for previously treated patients, but the recent results are from a phase 1 study of untreated patients.

A phase 3 randomized controlled trial, Beamion LUNG-2, has started enrollment, according to Sanjay Popat, M.B.B.S., Ph.D.

HER2 mutations are found in a relatively small percentage of NSCLC tumors, between 2% and 4%.
