New Targeted Approaches in Unresectable Early-Stage NSCL

Panelists discuss how osimertinib has been approved for patients with unresectable, EGFR-mutated stage III non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following chemoradiation, based on the LAURA trial, which demonstrated a significant improvement in progression-free survival. In clinical practice, osimertinib is administered as consolidation therapy until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Ongoing studies like PACIFIC-9 and PACIFIC-8 are exploring the efficacy of combining durvalumab with other agents, potentially influencing future chemo-immunotherapy strategies in advanced NSCLC.

Video content above is prompted by the following:

  • Please discuss the role of osimertinib in patients with unresectable NSCLC.
  • Briefly comment on the latest data from the LAURA study and recent approval (September 2024) of osimertinib in this space. (Ramalingam SS, et al. ASCO 2024. LBA4; FDA.gov, FDA approves osimertinib for unresectable NSCLC)
  • How are you incorporating the LAURA regimen into your practice, and what is your recommended duration of therapy for patients?
  • How do data from trials like PACIFIC-9 and PACIFIC-8 shape your approach to chemo-immunotherapy combinations in advanced NSCLC?
