Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) today announced updated follow-up results from the single-arm Phase 2 PHAROS trial evaluating BRAFTOVI® (encorafenib) + MEKTOVI® (binimetinib) for the treatment of adults with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) with a BRAF V600E mutation. In treatment-naïve patients, the median overall survival (OS) was 47.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 31.3, not estimable) after a median follow-up of 52.3 months. In previously treated patients, the median OS was 22.7 months (95% CI, 14.1, 32.6), after a median follow-up of 48.2 months. The four-year OS rates were 49% (95% CI, 35, 62) and 31% (95% CI, 16, 47) for treatment-naïve and previously treated patients, respectively. These data, from pre-specified secondary trial endpoints, will be presented today in an oral presentation (1849MO) at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Berlin, Germany, and have been simultaneously published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Astellas Pharma U.S. Inc. (Head of Commercial: Mike Petroutsas, "Astellas") today announced final overall survival (OS) results from the Phase 3 EMBARK study evaluating XTANDI® (enzalutamide), in combination with leuprolide and as monotherapy, in men with non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (nmHSPC; also known as nonmetastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer or nmCSPC) with biochemical recurrence (BCR) at high risk for metastasis. For the key secondary endpoint of OS, XTANDI plus leuprolide reduced the risk of death by 40.3% compared to leuprolide alone (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 0.597; 95% Confidence Interval [CI], 0.444-0.804; p=0.0006), making this the first and only androgen receptor inhibitor-based regimen to demonstrate an OS benefit in nmHSPC with high-risk BCR.1 The 8-year overall survival was 78.9% (95% CI, 73.9% to 83.1%) among patients receiving XTANDI plus leuprolide and 69.5% (95% CI, 64.0% to 74.3%) among patients taking leuprolide alone.1 A numerical improvement in OS with XTANDI as monotherapy compared to leuprolide alone (HR: 0.83 [95% CI, 0.63-1.095; p=0.1867) did not reach statistical significance.1 These data are being presented today in an oral presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Berlin, Germany and have been simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
