Treatment Patterns Among Patients With Advanced Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) in Europe

Non-interventional, retrospective study of advanced SCLC patients in 4 European countries (France, Germany, Italy, and United Kingdom [UK]) with the aim to produce evidence across different SCLC treatment lines to characterize the clinical and economic burden of the disease in Europe.

• Signed informed consent (where required as per local requirements)

Cohort 3:

• Confirmed diagnosis of SCLC not earlier than October 2013
• Initiated on second-line treatment due to relapse after first-line therapy not later than August 2016
• Full oncology medical history for the mandatory variables of the study available in the participating center from day of diagnosis until the end of follow-up or death (whichever occurs first)
• Signed informed consent (where required as per local requirements)
