TL;DR: In this article, an open label, phase 3 study (WJTOG3405) with recruitment between March 31, 2006, and June 22, 2009, at 36 centers in Japan was conducted.

TL;DR: Overall survival was significantly longer in the pembrolizumab group than in the chemotherapy group in all three TPS populations, and the benefit-to-risk profile suggests that first-line pembrology monotherapy can be extended as first line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients with sensitising EGFR or ALK translocation.

TL;DR: Docetaxel improved progression-free survival, response rate, and disease-related symptoms versus vinorelbine, and may be considered as an option in the standard treatment of elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

TL;DR: Osimertinib demonstrated superior CNS efficacy versus platinum-pemetrexed in T790M-positive advanced NSCLC, and was reported the first comparative evidence of osimert inib CNS efficacy compared with platinum- pemetrexe from a phase III study.

TL;DR: Afatinib demonstrated modest but noteworthy efficacy in patients with NSCLC who had received third- or fourth-line treatment and who progressed while receiving erlotinib and/or gefitinib, including those with acquired resistance to erlot inib, gef itin ib, or both.
