A phase II study of S-1 and cisplatin with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy followed by durvalumab for unresectable, locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer in Japan (SAMURAI study): primary analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The standard of care for unresectable, locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) is chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by durvalumab, based on the PACIFIC study. Although multiple Japanese phase II studies have shown high efficacy and tolerability of CRT with cisplatin plus S-1 (SP), no prospective study using durvalumab after SP-based CRT has been reported. Objectives: We conducted a multicenter phase II study of this approach, the interim analysis of which showed a high transition rate to durvalumab consolidation therapy. Here, we report the primary analysis results. Design: In treatment-naïve LA-NSCLC, cisplatin (60 mg/m Methods: The primary endpoint was 1-year progression-free survival (PFS). The expected 1-year PFS and its lower limit of the 80% confidence interval (CI) were set as 63% and 47%, respectively, based on the results of TORG1018 study. Results: In all, 59 patients were enrolled, with 51 (86.4%) proceeding to durvalumab. The objective response rate throughout the study was 72.9% (95% CI: 59.7-83.6%). After median follow-up of 21.9 months, neither median PFS nor OS was reached. The 1-year PFS was 72.5% (80% CI: 64.2-79.2%, 95% CI: 59.1-82.2%), while the 1-year overall survival was 91.5% (95% CI: 80.8-96.4%). No grade 5 adverse events were observed throughout the study. The most common adverse event during the consolidation phase was pneumonitis (any grade, 78.4%; grade ⩾3, 2.0%). Eventually, 52.5% of patients completed 1-year durvalumab consolidation therapy from CRT initiation. Conclusion: This study of durvalumab after SP-based CRT met its primary endpoint and found a 1-year PFS of 73% from CRT initiation. This study provides the first prospective data on the prognosis and tolerability of durvalumab consolidation from the initiation of CRT.
