Optimizing Treatment Strategies for -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Osimertinib: Real-World Outcomes and Insights.

Osimertinib, a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), demonstrated superior efficacy over first-generation TKIs in the FLAURA trial, resulting in its approval as first-line therapy for metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the real-world application of these trial results requires an evaluation of sequential therapeutic strategies. This retrospective, non-interventional study utilized data from the Epidemiological Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) platform, which includes information on patients treated for lung cancer since 2015.

Exploring the Efficacy of Pembrolizumab in Combination with Carboplatin and Weekly Paclitaxel for Frail Patients with Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Key Investigative Study.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint blockers have revolutionized the first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, is a standard therapy either alone or in combination with chemotherapy (chemo-IO). The current study explores the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab with carboplatin and weekly paclitaxel in a cohort of frail patients.
