ARCHER 1050: Conclusions In pts with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC, first-line dacomitinib significantly extended median PFS (either by independent review or investigator assessment), DoR, and TTF vs gefitinib Similar ORR between arms, OS data immature Dacomitinib toxicity profile consistent with previous reports Dose modifications more common than with gefitinib Higher incidence of diarrhea, skin rash, and mucositis than gefitinib Study investigators conclude that dacomitinib represents new option for treatment-naive pts with advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC DoR, duration of response; NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer; TTF, time to treatment failure.
