Updated EMPOWER-Lung 3 Data Support Frontline Cemiplimab Plus Chemo in Advanced NSCLC

The addition of cemiplimab to platinum-doublet chemotherapy continued to provide a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit over chemotherapy alone in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, irrespective of histology or PD-L1 expression level.

Neoadjuvant Nivolumab Plus Chemotherapy Retains EFS Advantage in Resectable NSCLC

Neoadjuvant nivolumab plus chemotherapy produced a long-term event-free survival benefit vs chemotherapy alone in patients with resectable non–small cell lung cancer, independent of whether patients underwent minimally invasive surgery or thoracotomy or complete or partial resection of the lung.

Up-Front Osimertinib Provides Comparable OS, Improved Brain PFS Vs Sequential Gefitinib/Osimertinib in EGFR+ NSCLC

Up-front treatment with osimertinib reduced the risk of brain progression-free survival but provided a comparable overall survival benefit compared with sequential treatment with gefitinib followed by osimertinib in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutations.
