July 28th 2023Edward S. Kim, MD, MBA, discusses necessary changes that would make cancer research more accessible to patients in community settings, multidisciplinary efforts that should take place at every step of the trial design and implementation process, and how future clinical trials should be intentional about the patient demographics.
Tackling Resistance Mechanisms Is the Next Step in Immunotherapy Development for NSCLC
Immunotherapy administered alone or in combination with chemotherapy has become the standard of care across advanced non–small cell lung cancer in several settings, with continued effort devoted to further enhancing and improving upon these treatments.
Perioperative Nivolumab Plus Chemo Improves pCR, Survival in Stage III NSCLC
July 28th 2023Neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy followed by adjuvant nivolumab increased pathological complete response rates and prolonged survival compared with neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone in patients with resectable stage IIIA/B non–small cell lung cancer.
Perioperative Immunotherapy Improves EFS, But Clouds Optimal Sequencing in Early NSCLC
July 27th 2023Positive event-free survival data from the phase 3 AEGEAN, NEOTORCH, and KEYNOTE-671 trials add further evidence to the benefit of perioperative immunotherapy in early-stage non–small cell lung cancer but have yet to show clear biomarkers of response beyond PD-L1.
Pasi A. Jänne, MD, PhD, details common EGFR mutations in NSCLC, the importance of testing for EGFR mutations in all patients, the clinical implications of overall survival data for adjuvant osimertinib from the ADAURA trial, and ongoing trials examining combination therapies to potentially improve upon the use of single-agent osimertinib.
