Purpose - Methods - The IFCT 1703-R2D2 trial is a multicenter, nonrandomized phase II study. Patients with -mutated, advanced NSCLC who progressed after ≥ 1 platinum-based treatment were enrolled. Patients received pertuzumab at a loading dose of 840 mg and 420 mg thereafter; trastuzumab at an 8 mg/kg loading dose and 6 mg/kg thereafter; and...

Background: The IFCT-GFPC 0502 phase III study reported prolongation of progression-free survival with gemcitabine or erlotinib maintenance vs. observation after cisplatin–gemcitabine induction chemotherapy for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This analysis was undertaken to assess the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of...

Introduction: KRAS mutations are detected in 20% to 30% of NSCLC. However, KRAS mutation subtypes may differently influence the outcome of patients with advanced NSCLC. Conclusions: KRAS mutation subtypes influenced neither treatment responses nor outcomes. The KRAS G12C mutation was detected in 41.5% of patients, who are now eligible for...

Purpose: Maintenance chemotherapy is a reasonable choice for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) not progressing after induction therapy with a platinum-based doublet. Nevertheless, there have been no studies dedicated to elderly patients.Patients and methods: We conducted a randomised trial in patients aged 70-89...
