This episode explores expert insights on the clinical use of osimertinib in the frontline setting for EGFR-mutated NSCLC, the impact of combining osimertinib with platinum-based chemotherapy on progression-free survival (PFS), and the significance of extending PFS by nearly 9 months in patients with advanced NSCLC who are not candidates for curative treatment.
What has been your clinical experience with osimertinib in the frontline setting for EGFR-mutated NSCLC?
Please assess the impact of a 38% improvement in PFS with the combination of osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy vs osimertinib monotherapy in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
From the perspective of a community oncologist, please share your insights on the meaningful benefit of extending PFS an additional 8.8-9.5 months among untreated patients with advanced NSCLC, not amenable to curative resection or radiotherapy.
