In a survey of patients with resectable stage I, II, or III NSCLC and/or caregivers, the majority were willing to stay on oral daily therapy for 3 years to keep their cancer from coming back2†

 

*An online survey was conducted from March to April 2021 in 75 patients or caregivers caring for a patient who was diagnosed in the last 6 years with stage I-III NSCLC and had surgery or were planning to have surgery. These 75 participants were asked the following question: “How likely would you/your loved one take an oral drug daily, for 3 years, post-surgery, to keep your/your loved one’s early stage, resectable lung cancer from coming back?” On a 7-point scale, where 1=”Not At All Likely” and 7=”Extremely Likely,” 12% of participants chose 5, 29% of participants chose 6, and 40% of participants chose 7.2

*66,040 patients treated (across 5 indications: resectable EGFRm NSCLC; locally advanced, unresectable (stage III) EGFRm NSCLC; 1L EGFRm mNSCLC; 1L in combination with chemotherapy [pemetrexed + platinum-based] for locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC; and 2L EGFR T790M mutation-positive mNSCLC) from approval through September 2025.
