At the recent World Conference on Lung Cancer and European Society for Medical Oncology annual meetings, two packages of lung cancer data from a partnership between Akeso and Summit Therapeutics and another collaboration between iTeos Therapeutics and GSK showed much promise of disrupting the current standard of care. But they also drew some questions and debate. 

In this week's episode of “The Top Line,” Angus Liu from Fierce Pharma and Gabrielle Masson from Fierce Biotech discuss the key issues behind those two readouts.
