Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with or without chemotherapy represent first-line standard of care for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without targetable driver mutations. The most appropriate second-line therapy after failing immunochemotherapy remains an open question. Nintedanib, an oral triple angiokinase inhibitor that targets the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor, and, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, in combination with docetaxel, is approved for treatment of advanced NSCLC (adenocarcinoma histology) following progression on first-line chemotherapy.

Materials And Methods: VARGADO (NCT02392455) is an ongoing, prospective, non-interventional, real-world study of nintedanib plus docetaxel after first-line chemotherapy in the routine clinical treatment of patients with locally advanced, metastatic or locally recurrent adenocarcinoma NSCLC. Data were collected during routine visits.
This real-world analysis evaluated docetaxel plus nintedanib in patients with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma after chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor failure, for whom treatment options are limited. Data were sourced retrospectively from seven German centers. Of 93 patients, overall response rate was 41.
