Age-Stratified Subgroup Analysis of SQUIRE in Patients With Stage IV Squamous NSCLC

Summary

An age-stratified subgroup analysis of the SQUIRE trial demonstrated that patients aged< 70 years exhibited significant survival benefits when necitumumab was added to gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment for stage IV squamous non–small cell lung cancer. This survival advantage was not observed in the elderly ≥ 70-year subgroup.
