ICYMI: Durvalumab boosts overall survival in stage III NSCLC


 

FROM THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE

Patients with unresectable stage III non–small cell lung cancer who received durvalumab had their overall and progression-free survival boosted by about 12 months, compared with patients who received a placebo, according to results of the multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 PACIFIC trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine (2018 Sep 25. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1809697).
