Cohort of Patients With NSCLC Treated With Nivolumab Under the ATU Program

Completed
Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Long-term Adverse Effects
Nivolumab
Registration Number
NCT02933346
Lead Sponsor
Intergroupe Francophone de Cancerologie Thoracique
Brief Summary

Our study sought to examine nivolumab efficacy and safety in advanced NSCLC patients treated under the Temporary Authorization for Use (ATU, compassionate use) setting and describe their long-term clinical characteristics, notably the treatments they received after nivolumab discontinuation. The profile of these patients shows greater conformity to that of a non-selected population, yet the clinical data collection does not reflect "real life" conditions and stops when treatment ends, which does not enable us to get an overview of post-immunotherapy treatments.

Detailed Description

Although the oncogene addiction concept has led to effective targeted treatments for certain histological non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) types, most patients with advanced tumors are still treated with first-line chemotherapy. In 2015, several studiess demonstrated the efficacy of nivolumab, an immunotherapy targeting immune checkpoints. In France, besides the clinical trials, this molecule has been made available in January 2015 under a Temporary Authorization for Use (ATU, compassionate use).
