Promising but preliminary

SKYSCRAPER-03: A Phase III Study of Tiragolumab Plus Atezolizumab Versus Durvalumab in Locally Advanced, Unresectable, Stage III NSCLC After Platinum-Based Concurrent Chemoradiation.

Study shows adding tiragolumab to immunotherapy didn't improve survival in lung cancer, redirecting research efforts.

SKYSCRAPER-03 did not meet its primary endpoint: tiragolumab plus atezolizumab showed no improvement in PFS over durvalumab in PD-L1+ or all-comers stage III NSCLC (HR 0.96; 95% CI 0.75–1.23). This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
