Durvalumab real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer treated in a US community setting.

Abstract

Background: For eligible patients with unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, durvalumab consolidation therapy following chemoradiotherapy is the standard of care. Methods: This was a retrospective study of durvalumab-treated patients diagnosed between 1 August 2017 and 29 February 2020. Electronic health record data were assessed descriptively, with Kaplan-Meier methods used for duration of treatment and overall survival (OS). Results: Among 528 patients (median age 70years, 51.5% male), the median duration of treatment was 7.1months (95% CI: 6.0-9.0). Estimated 1- and 2-year OS rates were 83.5 and 64.0%, respectively, with median OS not reached. Conclusion: This study confirmed an OS benefit with durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy in a real-world setting, consistent with the results from the PACIFIC phase III clinical trial.
