Options for patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease progresses after first-line chemotherapy are limited. This randomized, open-label, international phase 3 study evaluated efficacy and safety of nivolumab versus docetaxel in this patient population after failure of platinum doublet chemotherapy. Patients were randomized to nivolumab 3 mg per kilogram every 2 weeks or docetaxel 75 mg per square meter every 3 weeks. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Nivolumab improved overall survival versus docetaxel. Median overall survival was 12.2 months (95% CI, 9.7 to 15.0) for nivolumab (n=292) and 9.4 months (95% CI, 8.1 to 10.7) for docetaxel (n=290) (hazard ratio, 0.73; 96% CI, 0.59 to 0.89; P=0.002). One-year overall survival rates were 51% (95% CI, 45 to 56) for nivolumab and 39% (95% CI, 33 to 45) for docetaxel. Updated efficacy results with additional follow up are available for overall survival only: 18-month overall survival rates were 39% (95% CI, 34 to 45) for nivolumab and 23% (95% CI, 19 to 28) for docetaxel. Response rates were 19% for nivolumab and 12% for docetaxel (P=0.02). Although progression-free survival did not favor nivolumab (2.3 months for nivolumab versus 4.2 months for docetaxel), 1-year progression-free survival was higher for nivolumab (19%) than docetaxel (8%). Nivolumab further improved efficacy across all endpoints at predefined ≥1%, ≥5%, and ≥10% programmed death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) tumor membrane expression levels. Grade 3–5 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 10% of nivolumab and 54% of docetaxel-treated patients. Compared to docetaxel, nivolumab demonstrated superior overall survival, with PD-L1 expression conferring enhanced efficacy in patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC after failure of platinum-based chemotherapy. The safety profile of nivolumab was favorable versus docetaxel.
