Article Synopsis
- There is limited research on how effective and safe the tyrosine kinase inhibitors osimertinib (OSI) and gefitinib (GEF) are for treating EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with low performance status (PS).
- A study reviewed data from 113 patients, comparing the safety and efficacy of OSI and GEF, showing overall response rates of approximately 69% for GEF and 66% for OSI, with median progression-free survival being 6.9 months for GEF and 9.2 months for OSI.
- Results indicated that OSI offered better overall survival (20.9 months) compared to GEF (13.0 months
