Combination of Chemotherapy and Gefitinib as First-line Treatment of Patients With Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma and Sensitive EGFR Mutations: a Randomised Controlled Trial
The results of fastact2 show that chemotherapy plus erlotinib significantly prolonged PFS and OS of patients with NSCLC. However, outcome of the combination therapy are similar to those reported in several trials of single-agent EGFR TKIs. So which is the optimal first-line treatment for patients who harbored a sensitive EGFR mutation? The investigators need a head-to-head study to reply.
