Description
Analysis was performed on the placebo group (n=451) of the Phase III study SATURN using erlotinib maintenance therapy for patients with advanced NSCLC who were selected for response or stable disease after first line chemotherpy. The study was not powered for prognostic tests, but it was still found that KRAS Mutant status was a significant negative prognostic factor on progression free survival. (HR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.06 to 2.12; P=0.20)
