Aim: To describe treatment patterns and outcomes for advanced/metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) treated with single-agent or combination ramucirumab (ramucirumab-based) and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI-based) therapy. Materials & methods: Retrospective study of aNSCLC patients (n = 4054) identified in the Flatiron Health database, who received at least two treatment lines including ramucirumab- and/or ICI-based regimens between December 2014 and May 2017. Results: Median overall survival (95% CI) from aNSCLC diagnosis was 29.3 (25.5–33.0) months for patients receiving sequential ramucirumab- and ICI-based therapy (n = 245), 15.1 (12.6–18.2) months for patients receiving sequences including ramucirumab- without ICI-based therapy (n = 112), and 23.1 (21.9–24.2) months for patients receiving ICI-based therapy without ramucirumab-based therapy in sequence (n = 3697). Conclusion: Results provide real-world survival estimates for aNSCLC treated with sequences including ramucirumab- and/or ICI-based therapies.
Abs1l"act: This paper presents II lrnll5llclion log analysis of RcscaJl:bIndcx, a digital librnry for computcr scicncc rescarchcl1>. Rcscnn:bTndcx is an impol1:lll1 information resource for members of Ihis target group, and the colleclion sees significant use worldwide. Queries fmm over six months of usagc were analyzed, to dcterminc paUcms in query cOll'ilrUction and scan:h session behavior. Whcrc appropriatc, Ihcsc results arc compared to earlier studies of search behavior in two other computing digitallibrnries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
