According to the findings, the drug osimertinib consumed after tumor removal surgery significantly reduced the risk of patients dying by 51 percent.
Overall, 88 percent of patients treated with this new drug survived for five years, compared to 78 percent of them placed in the placebo group.
This last-phase trial included 680 participants from 26 countries who suffered from the early stages of this lung cancer. “These highly anticipated overall survival results, with 88 percent of patients alive at five years, are a momentous achievement in the treatment of early-stage EGFR-mutated lung cancer. These data underscore that adjuvant treatment with osimertinib provides patients with the best chance of long-term survival,” said Roy S. Herbst, Deputy Director and Chief of Medical Oncology at Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital, New Haven, Connecticut, US, and principal investigator in the trial.
