Abstract

In this retrospective observational study of nivolumab monotherapy in previously treated advanced non–small-cell lung cancer, overall survival (OS) in real-world patients with good performance status was similar to OS observed in pivotal clinical trials. Poor performance status and tumor programmed death ligand 1 expression < 1% were associated with shorter survival; advanced age had no significant adverse effect on survival.
