Real World Data Shows Impact of Immunotherapy in Populations Underrepresented in Clinical Trials, According to JNCCN Study

Retrieved on: 
Montag, Dezember 11, 2023

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- New research in the December 2023 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network finds patients treated with first-line immunotherapy for advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) showed similar results in terms of survival, progression-free survival, and treatment duration, regardless of race or ethnicity, even with differences in income and insurance. The clinical investigators focused on patients in under-represented groups who were typically less likely to be included in the immunotherapy clinical trials that have been conducted to date. They analyzed results from 248 patients treated with pembrolizumab over a 9-year period between January 1, 2013 and June 1, 2022, with non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and Non-Hispanic White patients each accounting for an approximately equal percentage. Median overall survival was 16.8 to 26.3 months, similar to results previously reported in large prospective clinical trials.

Key Points: 
  • The clinical investigators focused on patients in under-represented groups who were typically less likely to be included in the immunotherapy clinical trials that have been conducted to date.
  • Median overall survival was 16.8 to 26.3 months, similar to results previously reported in large prospective clinical trials.
  • This study could change how we take care of patients and plan future lung cancer studies to better include all patients.
  • "There is a clear need for future studies to include underrepresented patient groups in clinical trials to validate these findings and to better guide clinical practice."
