IASLC TTLC 2024 | Assessing NSCLC treatments in under-represented patient populations

Liza Villaruz, MD, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Pittsburgh, PA, discusses the findings of a recently published Phase II trial (NCT02879617) testing the safety of durvalumab in historically under-represented subgroups of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A significant portion of patients with NSCLC have impaired functional capabilities, often leading them to be unable to travel into cities to participate in trials, and the trial is the only study testing the safety and efficacy of durvalumab in patients with NSCLC who have reduced functionality. There are additional studies assessing pembrolizumab and atezolizimab in these under-represented groups. This interview took place at 2024 Targeted Therapies of Lung Cancer Meeting (TTLC 2024) in Santa Monica, CA.
