Agreed! This specifically is for adjuvant osimertinib for EGFR+ Stage IB–IIIA completely resected NSCLC.

The headline here is really strong -- and the actual abstract is much more sober: "5-year OS rate was 88% with osimertinib vs 78% with placebo" [Full abstract is here: https://meetings.asco.org/abstracts-presentations/219805 ]

P.S. Hi Chris! (I think I picked up a summer student from you last week!)

Very sober given the costs and %age of patients who didn’t receive adjuvant chemo in the initial trial.

Interested to see their detailed results but I’m mildly suspicious this will be AstraZeneca PR buffing underwhelming results.
