A presentation of results from the PACIFIC Phase III Trial in unresectable Stage III NSCLC and the CASPIAN Phase III trial in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) are expected this year, two late-breaking presentations highlighting the long-term benefit of durvalumab across different types of lung cancer. These include a presentation of four-year OS data in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who had not progressed following concurrent chemoradiation therapy and a presentation of updated data in ES-SCLC.vvv

Treatment-naïve patients with ES-SCLC received 4 cycles of durvalumab plus EP every 3 weeks followed by maintenance durvalumab every 4 weeks until progression, or up to 6 cycles of EP every 3 weeks. PROs, assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) version 3 and its lung cancer module, the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 13 (QLQ-LC13), were prespecified secondary endpoints. Changes from baseline to disease progression or 12 months in prespecified key disease-related symptoms (cough, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, appetite loss) were analyzed with a mixed model for repeated measures. Time to deterioration (TTD) of symptoms, functioning, and global health status/quality of life (QoL) from randomization was analyzed.
