AstraZeneca and MedImmune, its global biologics research and development arm, announced positive results for the phase III PACIFIC trial, a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled multi-center trial of Imfinzi (durvalumab) as sequential treatment in patients with locally-advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer who had not progressed following standard platinum-based chemotherapy concurrent with radiation therapy.
People with operable non-small cell lung cancers may fare better over the next few years by receiving immunotherapy treatments before and after surgery instead of only before surgery, according to an analysis by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center investigators.
