J Clin Oncol 3, 212 (suppl; abstr LBA757)

24 Conclusions These final results show that survival is significantly improved when patients are treated with pemetrexed continuation maintenance therapy compared with placebo (HR=.78) The survival results were internally consistent across all subgroups, including response to induction (complete/partial response versus stable disease) (data not shown in this summary) PARAMOUNT is the first study to show continuation maintenance has an impact on the disease course of advanced NSCLC (including PFS and OS), supporting a change in the treatment paradigm in this setting Paz-Ares et al.
