Local consolidative therapy vs maintenance therapy or observation for patients with oligometastatic non–small-cell lung cancer: Long-term results of a multi-institutional, phase II, randomized study
Journal of Clinical Oncology Jun 23, 2019
Gomez DR, et al. - Since patients with oligometastatic non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that did not progress following front-line systemic treatment experienced improved progression-free survival (PFS) and delayed new disease when given local consolidative therapy (LCT) with radiotherapy or surgery, researchers now focused on longer-term overall survival (OS) outcomes and additional secondary end points in this multicenter, randomized, phase II trial. Patients received maintenance therapy or observation (MT/O) or LCT to all active disease sites, via randomization (1:1). Findings revealed prolonged PFS and OS in relation to LCT vs MT/O in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC that did not progress following front-line systemic therapy.
