BioNTech's gotistobart showed nearly doubled median overall survival compared to standard chemotherapy in relapsed squamous non-small cell lung cancer patients in a phase 3 trial, suggesting a potential new treatment standard if confirmed in pivotal data due later this year.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your lung cancer treatment options could shift dramatically if gotistobart’s phase 3 readout confirms these results. This opens a door to innovate in therapies for second-line squamous NSCLC patients where standard chemo has dominated for years.
