Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the goals of this clinical trial?

"The goal of this trial is to evaluate the overall survival rate in patients who are administered Dato-DXd in combination with pembrolizumab, compared to those who only receive pembrolizumab. Secondary outcomes that will be measured include the objective response rate by investigator, duration of response by BICR and investigator, and objective response rate by blinded independent central review."

Answered by AI
