The data were presented at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.

Four hundred and eighty-three patients were randomized after completion of four cycles of induction therapy with atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide.
From the point of randomization, the median PFS was 5.4 months for the&nbsp;Zepzelca&nbsp;plus atezolizumab combination versus 2.1 months for atezolizumab alone, and the median OS was 13.2 months versus 10.6 months.
Compared to atezolizumab alone, the combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 46% and the risk of death by 27%. The&nbsp;Zepzelca&nbsp;plus atezolizumab combination had no new or unexpected safety signals.
The&nbsp;Zepzelca&nbsp;plus atezolizumab&nbsp;combination as maintenance therapy was generally well tolerated, and no new safety signals were identified.
In the&nbsp;Zepzelca&nbsp;plus atezolizumab&nbsp;and atezolizumab arms, respectively, treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 83.5% versus 40.0% of patients, with Grade 3-4 TRAEs in 25.6% versus 5.8% and Grade 5 TRAEs in 0.8% (two patients with sepsis and febrile neutropenia) versus 0.4% (one patient with sepsis).

DUBLIN, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JAZZ#NASDAQ">JAZZ</a>) today announced positive results from the Phase 3 IMforte study of Zepzelca&#xAE; (lurbinectedin) in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq&#xAE;) as a first-line maintenance treatment for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), following induction therapy with carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab. The study met both primary endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to atezolizumab alone.
IMforte is the first global Phase 3 trial to demonstrate clinically meaningful PFS and OS benefits in the first-line maintenance setting for ES-SCLC and supports maintenance therapy with Zepzelca&nbsp;plus atezolizumab as a new standard of care for patients. The data were presented today in an oral session at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago and published simultaneously in <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4439716-1&amp;h=26984983&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelancet.com%2Fjournals%2Flancet%2Farticle%2FPIIS0140-6736(25)01011-6%2Ffulltext&amp;a=The+Lancet">The Lancet</a>. Data from the trial served as the basis for the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration&nbsp;(FDA).
Following induction therapy with carboplatin, etoposide and atezolizumab, patients who did not have disease progression were randomized to receive Zepzelca plus atezolizumab or atezolizumab alone. From the point of randomization, the median PFS was 5.4 months for the Zepzelca plus atezolizumab combination versus 2.1 months for atezolizumab alone (stratified HR = 0.54, 95% CI: 0.43–0.67; p &lt; 0.0001), and median OS was 13.2 months versus 10.6 months (stratified hazard ratio [HR] = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.57–0.95; p = 0.0174).

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Key in Investment Decisions</h3>
Insider transactions are not the sole determinant of investment choices, but they are a factor worth considering.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
When analyzing transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase,while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.
