ASCO 2008 - Advanced NSCLC:Take Home Message • EGFR-targeted therapies deeply developed ... • Navelbine + CDDP as Reference treatment and … • FLEX NP+Cetuximab • The first combination confirming effectiveness of targeted Therapy as front line CT • Maintenance treatment improves PFS and…maybe OS: • The opportunity for Navelbine Oral ! • More data to differenciate treatment between Adeno & Squamous • Second Line Treatment: • Chemotherapy or targeted therapy? • … and now Third line treatments under development!
Prediction of survival benefit:Correlation with RR, PFS and OS • Mandrekar, #8021p: • PFS is more predictive of OS than best/confirmed OR (BR/CR) for PS2 • PFS 6m is significantly associated with survival than BR or CR p<0.001 • DC (CR,PR, SD) 8 w is a better predictor of OS than tumour response • Hotta, #8022p • TTP useful surrogate marker as an alternative to OS • Buyse # 8019o • In 2838 pts, 7 trials, PFS correlated to OS (R2=0.68 CI 0.67-0.68) • Median PFS 5.5m MOS 10 m
