Summary

Overall survival was significantly longer in the pembrolizumab group than in the chemotherapy group in all three TPS populations, and the benefit-to-risk profile suggests that first-line pembrology monotherapy can be extended as first line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients with sensitising EGFR or ALK translocation.
