“With 235 deaths in the intention-to-treat population, the
estimated proportion of patients who were alive at 12 months was
69.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 64.1 to 73.8) in the
pembrolizumab-combination group and 49.4% (95% CI, 42.1 to
56.2) in the placebo-combination group. The median overall
survival was not reached in the pembrolizumab-combination
group and was 11.3 months (95% CI, 8.7 to 15.1) in the placebo-
combination group (hazard ratio for death, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.38 to
0.64; P<0.001)”

The phase 3 IMpower150 study showed that the
addition of atezolizumab to bevacizumab plus
chemotherapy as first-line treatment for
nonsquamous metastatic NSCLC resulted in a
significant improvement in progression-free

expression and EGFR or ALK genetic alteration
