In 2017, “second line therapy” is no longer as simple
We must now take into consideration:
1.Tumor histology
2.Molecular phenotype (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, etc), Cappuzzo
3.Frontline chemo components (i.e. bevacizumab)
4.Maintenance therapy (continuation, switch)
5. IO in First Line
6.Others (adequacy of tumor tissue, third party reimbursement,
guidelines, “pathways”, etc)

Treatment Options Post-platinum Progression: Docetaxel
• Docetaxel was the first treatment to be approved for NSCLC patients with disease progression following first-line chemotherapy1
♦ Patients receiving docetaxel
75 mg/m2 had OS of
7.5 months, compared with
4.6 months for those receiving
BSC2
♦ Docetaxel-treated patients had
a significantly higher 1-year
survival rate compared with
patients receiving vinorelbine
or ifosfamide (32% vs. 19%;
p=.025)3

• Pemetrexed was approved for patients progressing after chemotherapy after it demonstrated non-inferiority vs. docetaxel, but with a better toxicity profile1-3
Treatment Options Post-platinum Progression: Pemetrexed in nonsquamous NSCLC
♦ In patients with
nonsquamous histology,
pemetrexed treatment
resulted in a median OS of
9.3 months, compared with
8.0 months for docetaxel4
♦ Pemetrexed is only suitable
for patients with
nonsquamous histology1
The increased use of pemetrexed in first-line treatment means docetaxel remains
an option as subsequent therapy for patients of all histologies

Treatment Options Post-platinum Progression: Erlotinib
• The EGFR TKI erlotinib is approved for use in unselected patients with disease progression after first-line chemotherapy1

2. Garassino MC et al. Lancet Oncol 2013;14:981-8
3. NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, V.6.2015
4. Gregorc V et al. Lancet Oncol 2014;15:713-21
♦ However, erlotinib was inferior
to docetaxel for OS and PFS
in patients without an EGFR
mutation; other options may
be preferred in this setting2,3
♦ Erlotinib is not recommended
for patients with a ‘poor’
classification following
proteomic testing in patients
with WT or unknown EGFR
status3,4

Take Home Messages
• Chemotherapy is still present in second line NSCLC advanced patients
• Antiangiogenic copound found a second youth in second line
• Immunotherapy plays a relevant role in this setting….at least until it will move to first line
• Today even more than yesterday is crucial to design a treatment algorithm for these patients not to waste therapeutic approaches
