Background: This multicenter phase 2 trial evaluated the safety and efficacy of osimertinib and platinum-based chemotherapy (OPP) in patients with previously untreated EGFR-mutated advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Patients And Methods: Patients received osimertinib 80 mg once daily (QD), with either cisplatin 75 mg/m (arm A) or carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC] = 5; arm B), plus pemetrexed 500 mg/m for four cycles and maintenance therapy of osimertinib 80 mg QD with pemetrexed 500 mg/m every 3 weeks. The primary end-points were safety and objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary end-points were complete response rate (CRR), disease control rate (DCR), and progression-free survival (PFS).
Results: In total, 67 patients (34 in arm A and 33 in arm B) were enrolled between July 2019 and February 2020. At the data cutoff (28th February 2022), 35 (52.2%) patients had discontinued the protocol treatment, including 10 (14.9%) due to adverse events. No treatment-related deaths occurred. In the full analysis set, the ORR, CRR, and DCR were 90.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 84.0-97.8), 3.0% (0.0-7.2), and 97.0% (92.8-100.0), respectively. Based on updated survival data (data cutoff on August 31, 2022, median follow-up time: 33.4 months), the median PFS was 31.0 months (95% CI, 26.8 months-not reached) and median overall survival was not reached.
Conclusions: This is the first study to show that OPP has excellent efficacy with acceptable toxicity in previously untreated EGFR-mutated advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients.

Immunotherapy has made recent improvements in disease-free survival (DFS) and/or overall survival (OS) in all stages of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we review the tumor microenvironment and its immunosuppressive effects and discuss how anti-angiogenic therapies may potentiate the anti-carcinogenic effects of immunotherapy. We also review all the past literature and discuss strategies of combining anti-angiogenic therapy and immunotherapy +/- chemotherapy and hypothesize how we can use this strategy for non-small-cell lung cancer in metastatic previously untreated/previously treated settings in previously treated EGFR-mutated NSCLC for the upfront treatment of brain metastases prior to radiation therapy and for the incorporation of this strategy into stage III unresectable disease.

Introduction: Osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease in untreated EGFR-mutated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer is being reported at a higher rate in Japan than elsewhere. However, data on the interstitial lung disease incidence during first-line osimertinib therapy and the course of lung cancer treatments administered after interstitial lung disease onset in the real-world setting are scarce.
Materials And Methods: The present study reviewed the data from the Reiwa study, a multicentric, observational study examining the efficacy and safety of first-line osimertinib therapy in the clinical setting.

Introduction: RELAY, a global double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study (NCT02411448) found statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (primary end point) for ramucirumab (RAM) plus erlotinib (ERL) (RAM + ERL) in patients with untreated EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.46-0.

Background: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and EGFR-TKI combination treatments have become the standard first-line treatments for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the best option has yet to be determined. This study compares the efficacy and safety of various first-line EGFR-TKI monotherapies and combination treatments for advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.
