David Spigel, MD, medical oncologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, discusses the updated results for the PACIFIC trial, a randomized phase III trial investigating the addition of durvalumab (Imfinzi) to chemoradiation versus placebo in patients with unresectable stage III lung cancer.
In this trial, patients with unresectable phase III disease, either squamous or nonsquamous, and regardless of PD-L1 expression, were given chemoradiation.
