Evaluation of efficacy and toxicity of nivolumab combined with or without docetaxel in patients with advanced NSCLC

Abstract: Background The combination of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and chemotherapy has been clinically confirmed to be beneficial as the first-line treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC. This study aimed to assess the effect of nivolumab + docetaxel versus nivolumab monotherapy in patients with NSCLC after the failure of platinum doublet chemotherapy. Materials and methods The efficacy and toxicity of nivolumab + docetaxel combination therapy versus nivolumab monothe… Show more

“…We noted the enrollments were all Japanese patients and that docetaxel was administered at a different dose and interval compared to the treatment routine. Although there was a confounding effect from comparison with recently published data, our study was consistent with the previous ICIs trials and retrospective studies in second-line therapy [25,26]. The small sample size of the study and the poor general condition of the patients enrolled may also lead to inconsistent results.…”

“…Docetaxel is a plant chemotherapeutic agent that can accelerate the apoptosis process of cancer cells by inhibiting microtubule depolymerization and normal recombination [5], and docetaxel alone is currently the second-line standard chemotherapy regimen for the clinical treatment of advanced NSCLC [6]. Since long-term application of docetaxel can easily result in drug resistance in patients, and then adversely affect the subsequent tumor inhibition effect, it is necessary to combine it with less dose-dependent drugs to improve the tumor inhibition effect [7]. Hence, it is essential to explore a safe as well as efficient chemotherapy regimen for advanced NSCLC patients who have failed second-line chemotherapy.…”
