FDA approves new combo therapy as first-line maintenance treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer, improving survival and progression-free time.
The FDA has approved lurbinectedin plus atezolizumab or atezolizumab with hyaluronidase-tqjs as first-line maintenance therapy for adults with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer whose disease hasn’t progressed after initial treatment.
Based on the phase 3 IMforte trial, the combination improved median progression-free survival to 5.4 months and median overall survival to 13.2 months, compared to 2.1 months and 10.6 months with atezolizumab alone.
The approval marks the first maintenance therapy for this setting, offering a significant advance in care, though it carries increased risks of hematologic toxicity, requiring careful patient selection.
