Study Finds Durvalumab Improved Progression-Free and Overall Survival in Limited Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Oncology Times - OncTimes Talk

When the immune checkpoint inhibitor durvalumab was added to standard-of-care chemoradiation treatment for patients with limited-stage small-cell lung cancer, it brought a “statistically significant and clinically meaningful” improvement in overall and progression-free survival, compared to adding placebo. This was in data from the ADRIATIC study reported in the Plenary Session at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago.

Peter Goodwin was there for Oncology Times, where he talked with the lead author of the new research, David Spigel, MD, Chief Scientific Officer at Sarah Cannon Research Institute in Nashville, TN.
