RiskReveal 14-Gene Assay Guides Platinum Adjuvant to 96% 2-Year DFS in Stage IA–IIA NSCLC

RiskReveal, a 14-gene expression panel, stratified 421 resected stage IA–IIA non-squamous NSCLC patients; intermediate/high-risk cases (mITT n=194 [46%]) were randomized to 4 cycles of cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy (n=87) or observation (n=107). At a 19-month median follow-up, adjuvant chemo cut recurrence/death risk by 78% (HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.06–0.76; p=0.0087) and achieved 96% disease-free survival at 24 mo versus 79% with observation, with median DFS unreached in either arm. Standard surgery-alone outcomes for localized NSCLC hover around 65% 5-year survival, and prior unselected stage IB trials (CALGB 9633) showed only modest benefit from chemo, underscoring the assay’s potential to personalize treatment.

If durability holds, integrating this inexpensive gene test could turn “chemo-sparingly” managed stage I lungs into a precision-adjuvant success story, sparing low-risk patients and rescuing those destined to relapse.
