EGFR exon 20 insertion

A rarer EGFR mutation (~2% of lung cancers) that does not respond to standard EGFR pills and needs its own drugs.

Approximately 10% of EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Amivantamab + chemotherapy (PAPILLON) is first-line standard; sunvozertinib (approved 2025) is the oral option after mobocertinib's withdrawal. Structurally the insertion blocks first- to third-generation TKIs.
