Postoperative Chemotherapy Use and Outcomes From ADAURA: Osimertinib as Adjuvant Therapy for Resected EGFR-Mutated NSCLC
Adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended in patients with resected stages II to IIIA (and select IB) NSCLC; however, recurrence rates are high. In the phase 3 ADAURA study (NCT02511106), osimertinib was found to have a clinically meaningful improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with resected stages IB to IIIA EGFR-mutated (EGFRm) NSCLC. Here, we report prespecified and exploratory analyses of adjuvant chemotherapy use and outcomes from ADAURA.Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 Expression in Untreated EGFR Mutated Advanced NSCLC and Response to Osimertinib Versus Comparator in FLAURA
EGFR mutated (EGFRm) NSCLC tumors occasionally express programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), although frequency and clinical relevance are not fully characterized. We report PD-L1 expression in patients with EGFRm advanced NSCLC and association with clinical outcomes following treatment with osimertinib or comparator EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the FLAURA trial (phase III, NCT02296125).
