(ABRAXANE) + carboplatin
NCCN Category 1†
Albumin-bound paclitaxel (ABRAXANE) + carboplatin is a treatment option included in the NCCN Guidelines® for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with a Category 1 recommendation for the first-line treatment of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and nonsquamous NSCLC (PS 0-1)‡
- *For additional considerations and treatment options, see NCCN.org.
- † Category 1: Based upon high-level evidence, there is uniform NCCN consensus that the intervention is appropriate.
- ‡ EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET exon 14 skipping mutation, and RET negative, treatment option for patients with contraindications to PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitors. Contraindications for treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may include active or previously documented autoimmune disease and/or current use of immunosuppressive agents or presence of an oncogene, which would predict lack of benefit.
Study design
Multicenter, randomized 1:1, Phase III study comparing ABRAXANE (100 mg/m2 IV; Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle) + carboplatin (AUC=6 mg•min/mL IV, Day 1 of each 21-day cycle) with paclitaxel injection (200 mg/m2 IV, Day 1 of each 21-day cycle) + carboplatin (AUC=6 mg•min/mL IV, Day 1 of each 21-day cycle) in 1052 chemonaïve patients with advanced NSCLC. The primary efficacy endpoint was ORR.10
