Real-world clinical outcomes among patients with non-squamous advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) treated with docetaxel-based regimens post initial standard of care (SOC) in the United States.
392 Background: Immunotherapy (IO) or targeted therapy used separately or in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) are SOC among treatment naïve aNSCLC patients. After progression on SOC, patients have limited treatment options. Previous US-based real-world studies have shown docetaxel ± ramucirumab as the most used line of treatment (LOT) post-SOC. This study sought to assess clinical outcomes associated with docetaxel+ramucirumab (DTX-R) or docetaxel monotherapy (DTX) received post SOC among patients with non-squamous aNSCLC independent of genomic alteration status. Methods: This retrospective study, using electronic medical record data from the ConcertAI Patient360 NSCLC data product (01/2015–09/2022), included adult patients (≥18 years) with stage IIIB-IV non-squamous aNSCLC who received docetaxel-based regimens (DTX-R or DTX) as subsequent LOT (index LOT) after discontinuation of the prior qualifying SOC LOT (IO + PBC or targeted therapy + PBC). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate median time to discontinuation (TTD), time to next treatment (TTNT), real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), and real-world overall survival (rwOS) on docetaxel-based index regimens. Results: Out of 656 non-squamous aNSCLC patients which discontinued prior SOC therapy, 165 (25.2%) received a docetaxel-based regimen (n = 96 [DTX-R]; 69 [DTX]) which was the most commonly received index regimen. Other patients received a variety of other treatments, most commonly, pembrolizumab monotherapy (11.4%), pemetrexed + pembrolizumab (8.4%), pemetrexed monotherapy (4.4%), carboplatin + pemetrexed (4.1%), and osimertinib (3.8%). Among patients with index DTX-R and DTX, median age was 66 and 65 years; 36.5% and 60.9% were female; 74.0% and 63.8% were White; 86.5% and 75.4% received care in community setting; 15.1% and 31.8% had brain metastasis; 63.6% and 65.2% had ECOG 0-1; 1 and 2 median prior LOT; and median follow-up from index was 10 and 11 months, respectively. Median TTD, TTNT, rwPFS, and rwOS for docetaxel-based regimens are reported in the table. Conclusions: Docetaxel ± ramucirumab is the most used regimen in a fragmented treatment landscape post SOC therapy among patients with non-squamous aNSCLC. Observed rwOS, rwPFS, and treatment durations on docetaxel-based regimens in this real-world setting suggested the limited clinical benefit associated with these therapies. Overall, there is a need for more effective treatment options post SOC therapies. Real-world outcomes for DTX-R and DTX treated patients post SOC. Outcome, months (median, 95% CI) Docetaxel+Ramucirumab Docetaxel Monotherapy rwOS 6.37 (4.4, 9.3) 4.73 (2.3, 7.8) rwPFS 3.88 (2.8, 6.0) 3.22 (2.0, 5.7) TTD 3.06 (2.4, 3.5) 1.71 (1.7, 2.4) TTNT 3.45 (2.9, 4.5) 3.02 (1.9, 4.6)
