Kamal S. Saini: First-Line Pembrolizumab for Metastatic NSCLC in LMICs

Kamal S. Saini, Executive Medical Director and Head of European Oncology Team at Fortrea, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues, published in Immunotherapy:

“NSCLC real-world data from India, in collaboration with Dr Ullas Batra and his distinguished team: ‘First-line pembrolizumab for metastatic NSCLC in lower-middle-income countries: bridging the efficacy-effectiveness gap’. Out now in Immunotherapy (Taylor and Francis Group).

78 patients with advanced NSCLC received pembrolizumab-based first-line therapy, and after a median follow-up of 27 months, median OS was 21 months and median PFS was 6.3 months. Real-world LMIC data demonstrated comparable effectiveness of pembrolizumab-based therapy in mNSCLC despite a higher proportion of adverse prognostic factors.”
