  • Review of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in EMPOWER-Lung 1 trial comparing cemiplimab monotherapy vs chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients with PD-L1 ≥50%.
  • Cemiplimab showed significant improvement in Global Health Status/Quality of Life (GHS/QoL) over chemotherapy in overall and subgroup analyses.
  • Key subgroups benefiting from cemiplimab included patients with brain metastasis, ECOG PS 1, squamous/nonsquamous histology, and age ≥65.
  • Significant delays in time to deterioration in GHS/QoL were noted for PD-L1 ≥90% and age <65 subgroups with cemiplimab.
  • Findings support the GHS/QoL benefit of first-line cemiplimab monotherapy in advanced NSCLC with PD-L1 ≥50%.
