On April 13, 2021, Zai Lab Limited issued a joint press release with its partner Novocure announcing an update regarding its phase 3 pivotal LUNAR trial of Tumor Treating Fields in stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer following platinum failure. Following a routine review of the study by an independent data monitoring committee (DMC), Novocure was informed that the pre-specified interim analysis for the LUNAR trial would be accelerated given the length of accrual and the number of events observed, to date. The interim analysis included data from 210 patients accrued to the LUNAR trial through February 2021. After review of the interim analysis report, the DMC concluded that the LUNAR trial should continue with no evidence of increased systemic toxicity.
The full text of this joint press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
