The final analysis had a data cut-off of 17 February 2017, when 220 deaths (48.7 percent) had occurred.\n\nDuring a median follow-up of 31.3 months there were 103 deaths (45.4 percent) on dacomitinib and 117 (52.0 percent) on gefitinib. The hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.760 (95% CI 0.582 to 0.993; two-sided P = .044). Median overall survival was 34.1 months with dacomitinib versus 26.8 months with gefitinib, and 30-month survival was 56.2 and 46.3 percent. Preliminary subgroup analyses were consistent with the primary analysis.","asOf":"2026-09-24","links":[{"label":"Journal of Clinical Oncology 2018","url":"https://doi.org/10.1200/JCO.2018.78.7994"},{"label":"PubMed","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29864379/"},{"label":"ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01774721","url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT01774721"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["nsclc","egfr-mutant-nsclc"],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":["egfr"],"drugs":["dacomitinib","gefitinib"],"companies":["pfizer"],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":["nct01774721"],"people":["tony-mok","wu-yi-long"],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":["jco"],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"journal":"Journal of Clinical Oncology","year":2018,"doi":"10.1200/JCO.2018.78.7994","pmid":"29864379","authors":"Mok TS, Cheng Y, Zhou X, et al.","paperType":"rct","findings":["Median overall survival 34.1 vs 26.8 months; hazard ratio 0.760 (95% CI 0.582 to 0.993), two-sided P = .044.","Overall survival at 30 months 56.2% with dacomitinib and 46.3% with gefitinib.","220 deaths (48.7%) at the final analysis cut-off of 17 February 2017, after a median follow-up of 31.3 months."],"whatItMeans":"This is the separate paper behind the survival figure quoted for dacomitinib.
