Data from the phase 2 NADIM II trial appear to reinforce the superiority of nivolumab and chemotherapy vs chemotherapy alone after the regimen significantly improved overall survival progression-free survival, and pathologic complete response in patients with stage IIIA/B non–small cell lung cancer, according to investigators.

Data indicate that atezolizumab may achieve overall survival benefit compared with best supportive care in resected non–small cell lung cancer.

Following data presented from the phase 1/2 CodeBreak 100 and CodeBreak 101 trials, a regimen consisting of sotorasib with a safety lead-in followed by concurrent pembrolizumab will be further explored in patients with KRAS G12C–mutant non–small cell lung cancer.

Patients with treatment-naïve metastatic non–small cell lung cancer who received either sintilimab or pembrolizumab monotherapy, or either agent combined with chemotherapy, experienced comparable outcomes.

Four subgroups of patients with MET exon 14 skipping non–small cell lung cancer demonstrated unique signaling pathways and significant differentially-expressed genes.

Findings from the phase 2 NADIM trial reinforced the rationale for using neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy to treat patients with stage IIIA resectable non–small cell lung cancer based on differences between pathologic complete responders and non–pathologic complete responders
