## 5. Key Development Trends
### 2023-2024 Trends
1. **4th-generation TKIs**: Focus on C797S resistance mutation
: Critical for brain mets
: EGFR + MET, EGFR + chemotherapy
: HER3-ADC, MET-ADC combinations
: Amivantamab leading
| Area | Rationale |
|------|-----------|
| 4th-gen TKI | C797S mutation unaddressed |
| Brain mets | High unmet need |
| Early detection | Neoadjuvant setting |
| Resistance combo | MET amp, HER3 upregulation |
: Osimertinib (core), Tagrisso + chemoprev (adjuvant)
: Extend osimertinib lifecycle (adjuvant, combo)
: First-mover, brand recognition
: Patent cliff approaching
: 4th-gen TKI leader (BLU-945)
: Combo strategy (lazertinib + EGFR/c-MET bispecific)
: ADC approach (patritumab deruxtecan)
| Deal | Type | Value | Year |
|------|------|-------|------|
| J&J / Yuhan | Licensing | $1.2B | 2018 |
| Merck / Daiichi Sankyo | Combo partnership | $4.5B | 2023 |
| BMS / Turning Point | Acquisition | $4.1B | 2023 |
C797S mutation space open
CNS penetration unmet
Combination approaches working
3rd-gen crowded
Generic erosion (1st/2nd gen)
High clinical trial costs
4th-gen clinical risk (first-in-class)
Combination regulatory complexity

Additional Resources
Best Practices
- Be specific: Use drug class names (e.g., "3rd-gen EGFR TKI")
- Define scope: Specify indication, phase, or company
- Compare: Ask for competitive positioning
- Look for white space: Ask about unaddressed areas
Common Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Solution |
|---|
| Too broad | Specify drug class or indication |
| Missing context | Include disease area |
| Outdated pipeline | Check date of data |
| Public vs private | Public sources only |
