Metastatic squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer with poor survival outcomes. First-line treatment is limited to chemotherapy or immune checkpoint inhibitor-based therapy such as Keytruda (Merck & Co.), Opdivo plus Yervoy (Bristol Myers Squibb), Tecentriq (Roche), and Libtayo (Sanofi / Regeneron). Targeted therapies such as the EGFR inhibitor Gilotrif / Giotrif (Boehringer Ingelheim) are available for some patients in subsequent lines, but not all patients respond to treatment. The lack of biomarker-driven therapies leaves patients with metastatic squamous NSCLC with fewer treatment options compared with other NSCLC patient populations. Thus, a strong need remains for more-effective treatments for this patient population.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What are the drivers of and constraints on the treatment of metastatic squamous NSCLC?
  • How do current therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, perform on key treatment drivers and goals for metastatic squamous NSCLC?
  • What are the prevailing areas of unmet need and hidden opportunities in the treatment of this patient population?
  • · What trade-offs across different clinical attributes and price are acceptable to surveyed medical oncologists for a hypothetical new first-line treatment for metastatic squamous NSCLC?
