Eric K. Singhi: Isn’t it about time we stopped saying that “patients failed treatment”

Eric K. Singhi reshared his previous post on X and added: ;

“But also…isn’t it about time we stopped saying that ‘patients failed treatment’.

The treatment failed the patient, NOT the other way around. Words matter. ”

Quoting the previous post:

“HARMONi-A: Phase 3 Ivonescimab + chemo v chemo alone in patients with EGFR+ mNSCLC s/p 1L EGFR-TKI

Anti-PD-1/VEGF bispecific Ab
322 patients
PFS 7 months v 4.8 months (HR 0.46)
ORR 51% v 35%

Where will this drug fit in our evolving 2L+ landscape for patients?”
