Patient-derived tumor xenografts with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations in mice
“In mice bearing patient derived tumors with exon 20 insertion mutations, administration of intraperitoneal (i.p.) amivantamab twice weekly resulted in significant tumor growth inhibition and complete responses in several animals, as did cetuximab and osimertinib.”

Why that model
Human cell xenografts used; amivantamab does not interact with murine c-Met or EGFR
“For the pharmacology efficacy studies, mouse models with human cell xenografts were used, and Amivantamab did not exhibit any interaction with murine c-Met or EGFR in cross-reactivity studies while beneficial properties against human c-Met or EGFR have been shown, which is satisfactory.”
EMA: human-xenograft mouse efficacy models satisfactory given no murine cross-reactivity
