Durvalumab Plus Platinum-Etoposide in Extensive-Stage Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Outcomes in Age, Sex, and Platinum Subgroups From the Phase 3 CASPIAN Study.

Introduction: In the phase 3 CASPIAN study, first-line durvalumab plus etoposide combined with either carboplatin or cisplatin (EP) significantly improved overall survival (OS) versus EP alone in treatment-naïve extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). We report exploratory subgroup analyses from CASPIAN.

Methods: Patients with untreated ES-SCLC were randomized to durvalumab plus EP or EP alone.

A Pooled Analysis of Datopotamab Deruxtecan in Patients With EGFR-Mutated NSCLC.

Background: This exploratory analysis assessed datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in pretreated patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC and EGFR mutations.

Methods: Data were pooled from the phase II TROPION-Lung05 (NCT04484142) and phase III TROPION-Lung01 (NCT04656652) trials. Patients with EGFR-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC, who had received previous targeted therapies and platinum-based chemotherapy, received Dato-DXd 6 mg/kg (TROPION-Lung05) or were randomized to Dato-DXd 6 mg/kg or docetaxel 75 mg/m (TROPION-Lung01) once every 3 weeks.

Patient-Reported Outcomes for Patients with Previously Treated Small Cell Lung Cancer Receiving Tarlatamab: Results from the DeLLphi-301 Phase 2 Trial.

Introduction: Tarlatamab demonstrated a durable response and promising survival outcomes in patients with previously treated small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in the phase 2, open-label DeLLphi-301 trial. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were evaluated to assess the benefit-risk profile of tarlatamab.

Methods: Patients received tarlatamab intravenously every 2 weeks at a dose of 10 mg (regulatory approved dose) or 100-mg until progression or loss of benefit.

Sacituzumab Govitecan Versus Docetaxel for Previously Treated Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: The Randomized, Open-Label Phase III EVOKE-01 Study.

Purpose: The open-label, phase III EVOKE-01 study evaluated sacituzumab govitecan (SG) versus standard-of-care docetaxel in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) with progression on/after platinum-based chemotherapy, anti-PD-(L)1, and targeted treatment for actionable genomic alterations (AGAs). Primary analysis is reported.

Methods: Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 (stratified by histology, best response to last anti-PD-(L)1-containing regimen, and AGA treatment received or not) to SG (one 10 mg/kg intravenous infusion on days 1 and 8) or docetaxel (one 75 mg/m intravenous infusion on day 1) in 21-day cycles.

Durvalumab ± Tremelimumab + Platinum-Etoposide in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (CASPIAN): Outcomes by PD-L1 Expression and Tissue Tumor Mutational Burden.

Purpose: In the CASPIAN trial, first-line durvalumab plus platinum-etoposide (EP) significantly improved overall survival (OS) versus EP alone in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). We report exploratory analyses of CASPIAN outcomes by programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression and tissue tumor mutational burden (tTMB).

Experimental Design: Patients were randomized (1:1:1) to durvalumab (1,500 mg) plus EP, durvalumab plus tremelimumab (75 mg) plus EP, or EP alone.

Sotorasib versus docetaxel for previously treated non-small-cell lung cancer with KRAS mutation: a randomised, open-label, phase 3 trial.

Background: Sotorasib is a specific, irreversible inhibitor of the GTPase protein, KRAS. We compared the efficacy and safety of sotorasib with a standard-of-care treatment in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the KRAS mutation who had been previously treated with other anticancer drugs.

Methods: We conducted a randomised, open-label phase 3 trial at 148 centres in 22 countries.

Genomic testing among patients with newly diagnosed advanced non-small cell lung cancer in the United States: A contemporary clinical practice patterns study.

Objectives: According to 2018 United States and international lung cancer and pathology guidelines, testing of EGFR, ALK, ROS1 and BRAF genes is a minimum requirement to identify targeted therapy options in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC). We describe real-world use and clinical features of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and other non-NGS testing technologies in these patients.

Materials And Methods: Patients were from the Flatiron Health electronic health record-derived de-identified database and were newly diagnosed with non-squamous aNSCLC between 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2019.

Abemaciclib in Combination with Single-Agent Options in Patients with Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Phase Ib Study.

Abemaciclib, a dual inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6, has demonstrated preclinical activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label phase Ib study was conducted to test safety, MTD, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of abemaciclib in combination with other therapies for treatment in patients with metastatic NSCLC. An initial dose escalation phase was used to determine the MTD of twice-daily oral abemaciclib (150, 200 mg) plus pemetrexed, gemcitabine, or ramucirumab, followed by an expansion phase for each drug combination.
