Description
In a phase 3 clinical trial of East Asian pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients, a subset of patients with EGFR mutations (n=261) treated with gefitinib were associated with improved response compared to carboplatin plus paclitaxel treatment, but in patients shown to be negative for EGFR mutation (n=176), patients given gefitinib fared worse than those given carboplatin and paclitaxel: Hazard ratio 2.85 (85% CI 2.05-3.98) p<0.001
