is associated with survival benefits in patients with EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell …

Background Activating mutations in EGFR are important markers of response to tyrosine
kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The OPTIMAL study …

Background The phase III, randomized, open-label ENSURE study (NCT01342965)
