A082304: PROSPECT LUNG Trial — Comparing Perioperative vs. Adjuvant Systemic Therapy for Resectable Stage II–IIIB NSCLC
Study Overview:
This Phase III study investigates whether giving systemic therapy before and after surgery (perioperative) improves outcomes compared to the standard approach of post-surgical treatment only (adjuvant) in patients with Stage II–IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Key Study Details:
Phase & Design: Phase III, randomized
Population: Patients with resectable Stage II–IIIB NSCLC
Treatment Arms:
Perioperative systemic therapy (before + after surgery)
Adjuvant systemic therapy (after surgery only)
Primary Objective: Improve overall survival
Why It Matters: Optimizing treatment timing could enhance surgical success, reduce recurrence, and extend survival..
