Excerpt:
For pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone, median overall survival was 21.3 versus 12.6 months (HR, 0.55 [95% CI: 0.35-0.87]) and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 8.4 versus 6.0 months (HR, 0.64 [95% CI: 0.43-0.96])….The analysis supports the use of pembrolizumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for East Asian patients with PD-L1-negative, advanced NSCLC.
