Read the results alongside the study design, safety findings and limitations.

Who was studied?

101 patients: chemotherapy combination 35, TKI combination 36, PRaG 30.

What does the publication report?

The PRaG group had ORR 20.0% and median PFS 4.5 months; no significant OS difference was found between groups.

Safety findings

Adverse reactions were assessed; a complete graded safety comparison is not available in the abstract.

How should we interpret it?

Nonrandomized treatment selection can confound comparisons. The absence of an OS difference must be retained when interpreting the PFS finding.
