Gustavo Viani: Neoadjuvant immunotherapy for unresectable stage III NSCLC followed by CRT

“Good results with neoadjuvant immunotherapy for unresectable stage III NSCLC followed by CRT! Randomized clinical trials are needed!

Study Design: Phase II, single-cohort trial with 62  with unresectable stage III NSCLC.

  • Intervention: Atezolizumab given before and after chemoradiation therapy (CRT)
  • Outcome:  Disease control rate at 12 weeks was 74.2%

Results:

  • Median PFS 30 m / OS at 24 months 73.7%
  • Adverse Events:27.4% grade 3+ immune-related events, including pneumonitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome.”
