Executive Highlights

The POD1UM-304 phase 3 trial marks a significant milestone in the management of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Key findings include a median OS of 18.1 months in the retifanlimab-chemotherapy group versus 13.4 months in the placebo-chemotherapy group (Hazard Ratio [HR] 0.75; p=0.0042).
