extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), based on interim overall survival (OS) data from the phase III CASPIAN trial. Updated results of this trial confirm the benefit of this


combination (median OS 12.9 months versus 10.5 months with chemotherapy alone; HR 0.75; nominal _P_ = 0.003). However, a primary analysis of OS in a third arm of this trial showed no benefit


from adding both durvalumab and the anti-CTLA4 antibody tremelimumab to chemotherapy: median 10.4 months versus 10.5 months with chemotherapy alone (HR 0.82; _P = _0.05). This finding might


reflect the increased incidence of toxicities with the tremelimumab-containing regimen and related reductions in overall levels of exposure to both durvalumab and chemotherapy. This is a
