Primary analysis of the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC) 3 study revealed that neoadjuvant atezolizumab prior to lung cancer surgery was well tolerated by patients and met its primary endpoint of 20% major pathologic response rate, according to research presented today at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer’s World Conference on Lung Cancer.

Dr. Jay M. Lee, chief, Division of Thoracic Surgery at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, today reported on results from a study of 181 patients with stage IB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who each received 1,200 mg of neoadjuvant atezolizumab intravenously every three weeks for two cycles followed by resection. Atezolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2020 for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC.
