AstraZeneca today presented new post-progression outcomes data from an exploratory analysis of the global Phase III FLAURA trial, which assessed the efficacy and safety of Tagrisso (osimertinib) as 1st-line therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The presentation at the European Lung Cancer Conference (ELCC) in Geneva during the “Best of ELCC” session showed that the progression-free survival (PFS) benefit of 1st-line Tagrisso over the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), erlotinib or gefitinib, was sustained throughout post-progression outcomes [Abstract #128O]. |
