- The study investigates the effectiveness of durvalumab, an immunotherapy drug, after chemoradiotherapy in patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), particularly those with poorer performance status or older age.
- In a phase II trial with 86 participants, 61 received durvalumab after low-dose carboplatin and radiotherapy, showing a 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 51%, exceeding the expected 35%.
- The treatment was deemed effective, with a median overall survival of 28.1 months, but pneumonitis was noted as the most common severe side effect.*
