Abstract

Platinum based chemotherapy (CT) with anti PD1/PDL1 is now a standard first line therapy in the management of mNSCLC without targetable driver mutations. PDL1 is expressed on tumour cells and PD1 is expressed on immune cells and these alternate mechanisms may alter clinical outcomes after tumour cell death. A network meta-analysis (NWM) showed anti PD1 + CT was superior to anti PDL1 + CT in overall survival (OS). However, only one anti PDL1, atezolizumab, was included in the analysis. More recently, several randomised controlled trials (RCT) involving newer anti PD1/PD L1 agents have been reported.
