The p-value of 0.036 for Imfinzi monotherapy was deemed non-statsig because the MYSTIC study’s alpha was divided into so many components (mono and combo therapy for PFS, and mono and combo therapy for OS). AZN reported failure of both arms on the PFS endpoint in 2017 (#msg-133336714).
A quirk of the OS data is that Imfinzi plus Tremelimumab performed numerically worse than Imfinzi monotherapy.
Imfinzi continues to be tested in other phase-3 trials in first-line Stage-IV NSCLC; to date, however, Imfinzi has succeeded only in second-line bladder cancer (#msg-130966037) and second line Stage-III NSCLC (#msg-138626896).
