Dr. Jack West summarizes a small trial from UCLA that tests the utility of giving first line immunotherapy to EGFR mutation-positive patients with high tumor PD-L1 expression, which led to poor outcomes that should cast a long shadow on this approach. (7:11)
Dr. Jack West reviews KEYNOTE-407, first line chemo/immunotherapy with pembrolizumab vs. chemo alone in advanced squamous NSCLC, which demonstrated a significant survival benefit that should change practice in this setting. (9:32)
Dr. Jack West reviews the KEYNOTE-042 trial of pembrolizumab vs. chemo in PD-L1-positive NSCLC, highlighting key findings from the presentation in the Plenary Session at ASCO 2018, clinical implications, & whether it should change practice. (11:04)
Dr. Jack West reviews his top 5 abstracts in the advanced NSCLC track at ASCO 2018, explaining why each is poised to change the landscape of patient care in this setting. (10:17)
Dr. Jack West reviews clinical results in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC and negative (<1%) tumor PD-L1 on the KEYNOTE-189 trial, providing thoughts on the clinical implications of these findings in management of this patient subset. (6:31)
Dr. Jack West reviews clinical results in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC and low (1-49%) tumor PD-L1 on the KEYNOTE-189 trial, providing thoughts on the clinical implications of these findings in management of this patient subset. (6:15)
Dr. Jack West reviews clinical results in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC and high tumor PD-L1 on the KEYNOTE-189 trial, providing thoughts on the clinical implications of these findings in management of these patients. (7:57)
Dr. Jack West reviews the trial design, efficacy endpoints, and toxicity results of the KEYNOTE-189 trial of pembrolizumab or placebo added to cisplatin or carboplatin with pemetrexed chemo in advanced non-squamous NSCLC with any PD-L1 expression. (13:05)
Dr. Jack West presents early data suggesting that chemotherapy may be more effective after prior immunotherapy than otherwise. (5:02)
Dr. Jack West reviews new data on patterns of acquired resistance after a response to immune checkpoint inhibitors for advanced NSCLC, along with the clinical implications of various options based on these observations. (11:33)
