Popis: e21574 Background: mNSCLC clinical treatment guidelines are rapidly evolving, however, their influence on prescriber use of anti-cancer treatment regimens is not known. This retrospective study evaluated whether US patients with mNSCLC received first line (1LOT), second (2LOT), or third (3LOT) line treatment regimens that were concordant with NCCN Category 1-2A recommendations. Methods: mNSCLC patients who initiated treatment between 2014-2017 were identified using medical and pharmacy claims from the 100% Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) Part A/B/D sample and multi-payer Inovalon MORE2 Registry. Claims-based algorithms identified mNSCLC and LOT following diagnosis; patients with other primary cancers or < 6 months follow-up were excluded. Treatment regimens were compared to active NCCN Guidelines at time of treatment to determine if regimen was concordant with Category 1-2A recommendations. Genetic mutation/biomarker status was not available. Results: 6,523 patients with mNSCLC met criteria for analysis (FFS/Medicare Advantage:78.6%; commercial:14.0%, managed Medicaid:7.4%; mean age:69.3 [SD:9.2]). For 1LOT, 81% received platinum-based doublet regimens; most common monotherapy included erlotinib, nivolumab, and pembrolizumab; 18% of 1LOT patients received maintenance therapy. For 2LOT, approximately one-third received nivolumab monotherapy, one-third received platinum-based doublets, and remainder received other regimens. Most common 3LOT included monotherapy nivolumab, pemetrexed, paclitaxel, and docetaxel. NCCN Guidelines concordance varied: 1LOT (90.5%), 2LOT (58.5%), 3LOT (71.9%). Non-concordant regimens included nivolumab as 1LOT and early adoption of platinum agent+(pemetrexed or paclitaxel) in 2LOT, and chemotherapy as 2LOT in anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangement-positive or epidermal growth factor receptor mutation-positive disease. Conclusions: In Medicare and non-Medicare patients with mNSCLC, 1LOT closely followed NCCN Guidelines. Most variability was observed in 2LOT where 58.5% regimens were concordant with Category 1-2A recommendations. Non-concordance may be driven by lack of effective second-line regimens and early adoption of innovative therapies.
