Title:
Crizotinib efficacy in advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients with ALK or ROS1 rearrangement
Published date:
10/22/2021
Excerpt:
We enrolled 95 non-squamous NSCLC patients with known status of EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET and RET genes and PD-L1 protein expression….In 32 patients with ALK or ROS1 genes rearrangements, 10 patients received crizotinib and 22 patients chemotherapy in the first-line of treatment. The median overall survival was 34 months (95% CI 9.5–34 months) in crizotinib treated patients and 6 months (95% CI 4–15.5 months) in patients who received chemotherapy (HR = 0.266, 95% CI 0.104–0.678, p = 0.0056)...
