description Introduction: A literature review was undertaken to identify clinical trials and real-world studies of patients with stage IV NSCLC who had progressed on or after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods: The EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were used to search for English-language studies published between September 28, 2017, and September 28, 2021. Studies were included in the review if they (1) were clinical trials or real-world analyses of one or more treatment regimens for patients with stage IV NSCLC who had progressed on or after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, (2) contained an end point including efficacy, effectiveness, or safety, and (3) included 45 or more patients. Results: In total, there were 15 publications (nine unique trials and three real-world studies) included. Sample size ranged from 49 to 1253 patients. At least one treatment arm in eight of the nine clinical trials reported an overall response rate of ≥15%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival ranged from 1.9 to 5.2 months and 5.4 to 15.4 months in clinical trials and 4.4 to 6.8 months and 8.3 to 18.0 months in real-world studies, respectively. Within studies reporting median PFS, a median PFS of more than or equal to 3 months was reported in eight of 11 clinical trials and both real-world studies. Discontinuation due to adverse events ranged from 1.9% to 18% across all included studies. Conclusions: Patients with stage IV NSCLC had limited response and a high burden of adverse events during treatment after progression on platinum-containing chemotherapy. There remains a pressing unmet need for additional, effective, and tolerable treatment options in this setting.
