Abstract

•Durvalumab plus EP showed sustained OS benefit over EP with a well-tolerated safety profile after median follow-up >3 years.•Three times more patients were estimated to be alive at 3 years when treated with durvalumab plus EP versus EP alone.•These results further establish durvalumab plus EP as standard of care for first-line treatment of patients with ES-SCLC. BackgroundIn the phase III CASPIAN study, first-line durvalumab in combination with etoposide plus either cisplatin or carboplatin (EP) significantly improved overall survival (OS) versus EP alone in extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Durvalumab plus tremelimumab plus EP numerically improved OS versus EP, but did not reach statistical…
