  • In the non-squamous NSCLC subset, the overall survival benefit of datopotamab deruxtecan showed a nominal 16% improvement but also missed statistical significance
  • AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo reported disappointing results in May 2024 but remain confident in datopotamab deruxtecan’s potential; the FDA’s target action date for approval is 20 December 2024
