Aakash Desai, Associate Director, Phase 1 and Precision Oncology Program at UAB O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Valérie Gounant et al, published in JTO Clinical and Research Reports:

“Poor PS, high PD-L1—can IO still work?

IFCT-1802 SAVIMMUNE (Ph2) evaluated 1L durvalumab in stage IV NSCLC with ECOG PS 2–3 and PD-L1 ≥25%.

  • Grade ≥3 TRAEs (8 wks): 10%
  • ORR: 26%
  • 1-yr OS: 40%
  • PS improvement at 8 wks: 44%

Important data for a population often excluded from trials.”
