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: In patients with EGFRm T790M advanced NSCLC who progress after EGFR-TKI treatment, osimertinib provides a high ORR, encouraging PFS, and durable response, and this article reports the results from the phase II extension component.

TL;DR: The RELAY trial as mentioned in this paper evaluated erlotinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) standard of care, plus ramucirumab, a human IgG1 VEGFR2 antagonist, or placebo in patients with untreated EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC.

TL;DR: Gefitinib monotherapy confers substantial clinical benefit in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival in non–small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations.
