Summary

Researchers were too busy counting dead bodies to give the control arm appropriate therapy when their cancer recurred. Disgusting conduct. I break down ADAURA

Welcome back to the plenary session podcast.

0:02.5

I'm going to be giving you the real plenary session.

0:04.4

This time it's Adyra, Adjuvant, Osamertinib, the AstraZeneca study.

0:09.4

In the next few days, I'm going to be bringing you videos on the number of the biggest abstracts that hit at Asco.

0:15.1

But I got to start with Adora because the cheerleaders are out there in full force and we finally have what many

0:22.5

of us has been speculating about for the last three years, information about subsequent therapy

0:27.3

in the Adora study. It really matters when it comes to overall survival. We'll walk you through

0:30.9

that. Let's take a look. This is entitled Overall Survival with Assymeritnib and Resected EGFR

mutant non-small cell lung

cancer. It's the Adora trial. We all know this space. Prior to Adora, we had in 2017,

0:43.5

the results of Flora. Flora shows that upfront osamartinib has an improved PFS over Githinib

0:49.8

and Erlatinib. It has better brain penetration, and it quickly became the standard of care in places

0:54.6

that could afford osomeratinib. It was the de facto frontline metastatic drug for EGFR mutation

1:00.2

positive, L8-58R, and Exxon 19, non-small cell lung cancer. That's what it was. It was the primary

1:06.2

standard of care upon metastasis. Now, the authors want to grab that big, sweet, sweet market share of

1:12.9

the adjuvant space, okay? And that's what this trial is. It's the AstraZeneca effort to get

1:17.6

the adjuvant market share from 1B all the way to three. And that means more money for

1:22.0

AstraZeneca because you can put a lot more people on the drug, people who are resected,

1:25.9

and it's okay to give them more money if they

1:28.1

show that the routine upfront use of adjuvant osmary is superior to the standard of care,

1:33.4

which is Aussie upon progression when you have metastatic disease. That's what this trial is all

1:38.8

about. So let's take a look, the Adora trial. People love the hazard ratio. The first time it came around, I think
