The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has adopted a positive opinion recommending approval of Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for the adjuvant treatment of adults with non-small cell lung cancer who are at high risk of recurrence following complete resection and platinum-based chemotherapy.
Treatment with an indefinite course of osimertinib dramatically improves progression-free survival for patients with stage 3 non-small cell cancer, according to the results of the LAURA trial. The median PFS was 39.1 months in the osimertinib group, compared to 5.6 months with the placebo group.
