Positive high-level results from a planned interim analysis of the AEGEAN phase III, placebo-controlled trial showed that treatment with AstraZeneca’s Imfinzi (durvalumab) in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery and as adjuvant monotherapy after surgery demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in event-free survival versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone followed by surgery for patients with resectable early-stage (2a-3b) non-small cell lung cancer.
FDA has granted accelerated approval to sevabertinib (Hyrnuo), a kinase inhibitor, for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer whose tumors have HER2 tyrosine kinase domain activating mutations, as detected by an FDA-authorized test.
