 Key Findings:

  • OS: 55.5 months vs Not Reached
  • 18-month OS: 80.6% vs 93.8%
  • Grade 3-5 irAEs: 54.3% → 23.5% (57% reduction)
  • QoL deterioration: 15.5 months vs Not Reached (HR=0.36)

Clinical Impact: Stopping at 6 months in controlled mNSCLC showed no survival harm, dramatically reduced toxicity, and delayed QoL deterioration.”
