Journal of Clinical OncologyLung Cancer: Five-Year Survival Outcomes from the PACIFIC Trial

This update on the PACIFIC trial comparing durvalumab with placebo in patients with unresectable, stage III non–small-cell lung cancer demonstrated robust and sustained OS and durable PFS benefit. The updated, exploratory analyses of survival, approximately 5 years after the last patient was randomly assigned demonstrate robust and sustained OS and durable PFS benefit with durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy. An estimated 42.9% of patients randomly assigned to durvalumab remain alive at 5 years and 33.1% of patients randomly assigned to durvalumab remain alive and free of disease progression. These results establish a new benchmark for standard of care in this setting.
