Stephen Liu: Overview of outcomes with 1L osimertinib
Stephen Liu shared a post on X about a recent paper by Kageaki Watanabe et al. published in JTO Clinical and Research Reports.
Authors: Kageaki Watanabe, Yukio Hosomi, Katsuhiko Naoki, Kohei Uemura, Hideo Kunitoh et al.
“Overview of outcomes with 1L osimertinib. At progression, continuation of osimertinib associated with shorter survival compared to those who discontinued (!), even after multivariate analysis and even among those who began chemotherapy.
Reminiscent of results from IMPRESS with gefitinib. Possible confounder here is delay to second line therapy in the continuation group. But PFS with osi + 2L chemo was 5.5m and 2L chemo alone was 7.4m. Prospective COMPEL trial will be very important.”
