Background: Few epidemiological data are available on surgically treated Caucasian patients with non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor () mutations. The main objective of this study was to describe, in the real-world setting, these patients' incidence, clinical, and tumoral characteristics.
Methods: The participating centers included all consecutive localized non-squamous NSCLC patients undergoing surgery between January 2018 and December 2019 in France.
Background: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a tendency towards recurrence and limited survival. Standard-of-care in 1st-line is platinum-etoposide chemotherapy plus atezolizumab or durvalumab,based on landmarkclinical trials.
Methods: IFCT-1905 CLINATEZO is a nationwide, non-interventional, retrospectivestudy of patients with extensive-SCLC receivingatezolizumab plus chemotherapy as part of French Early Access Program.
Objectives: Few data are available on the impact of KRAS mutation in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) treated with immunotherapy. This analysis assessed the impact of KRAS mutation on the efficiency of first-line pembrolizumab immunotherapy in aNSCLC patients with PD-L1 ≥ 50 %.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the ESCKEYP study, a retrospective, national, multicenter study which included consecutively all metastatic NSCLC patients who initiated first-line treatment with pembrolizumab monotherapy from May 2017 (date of pembrolizumab availability in this indication in France) to November 22, 2019 (pembrolizumab-chemotherapy combination approval).
Background: Phase III clinical trials have demonstrated the merits of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR-activating mutations. Using a cohort of unselected patients treated with erlotinib, we sought to further describe patient and tumour characteristics, and to evaluate their progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Methods: Overall, 44 pulmonologists included patients with the required characteristics as follows: Stage IIIB-IV NSCLC, EGFR-activating mutation, age≥18 years, and having to start erlotinib therapy or receiving erlotinib therapy as the first-line TKI, regardless of treatment-line.
Aim: To assess the efficacy and tolerance of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors and the impact of a standardised management-based protocol in a real-world setting.
Patients And Methods: Data from patients who had received anti-PD-(L)1 were collected from our pharmacy database. Clinical response and toxicity were assessed using RECIST criteria and CTCAE version 5.
