Stereotactic radiotherapy vs whole brain radiation therapy in EGFR mutated NSCLC: Results & reflections from the prematurely closed phase III HYBRID trial

All known randomized trials of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) versus whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) for brain metastases (BMs) comprise mixed histologies. The phase III HYBRID trial (NCT02882984) attempted to evaluate the non-inferiority of SRT vs. WBRT specifically for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (EGFRm NSCLC) BMs.
