A Non-interventional Study of Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) in Combination With Carboplatin as First Line Therapy in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NEPTUN)
This is a single-arm non-interventional study (NIS) to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and quality of life (QoL) in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving the combination of nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin as first line palliative therapy in a real life setting.
The present NIS is designed to provide additional knowledge in terms of effectiveness, safety and quality of life in routine administration of the combination of nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) and carboplatin as first line treatment for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are not candidates for potentially curative surgery and / or radiation therapy. The combination of Abraxane® and carboplatin has been approved in Europe in March 2015 based on results from a pivotal randomized, open label phase III study with 1,052 patients.
