This was the primary result of a clinic-randomized, hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial presented at ASCO 2023.
Lazertinib improves PFS vs gefitinib in 1L treatment of EGFR-mutated NSCLC
The third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) lazertinib significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) vs gefitinib in first-line (1L) treatment of patients with EGFR -mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring an exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R mutation, results of the phase III LASER301 trial have shown.
Dalpiciclib a 1L option for HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer regardless of menopausal status
Adding dalpiciclib to an aromatase inhibitor (AI) significantly improves progression-free survival (PFS) vs an AI alone in first-line (1L) treatment of hormone receptor (HR)–positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer regardless of patients’ menopausal status, a phase III trial in 42 hospitals in China has shown.
