Findings from a phase III clinical trial for advanced lung cancer patients could help oncologists better predict which patients are likely to receive the most benefit from immunotherapy as a first-line treatment based on the unique molecular characteristics of their tumor, according to a new study reported by a global team led by David Carbone of Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer–Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute.
A head-to-head comparison of five leading treatments for anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer could help oncologists fine-tune first-line TKI selection beyond what’s been seen in clinical trials alone, according to a study conducted by a team of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the USC Alfred E. Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the USC Shaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics have conducted.
