This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of ramucirumab and docetaxel for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in real-world settings. This single-arm, prospective, multicenter, non-interventional, post-marketing study was conducted in Japan between August 2016 and January 2020. Patients diagnosed with unresectable advanced/recurrent NSCLC were eligible for study inclusion. Data on adverse events (AEs) and survival were collected electronically. Of 401 enrolled patients, 398 were eligible for study inclusion. Most patients were male (68.6%) with a median age of 67.0 years. Patients were predominantly diagnosed with adenocarcinoma (78.1%) or squamous cell carcinoma (16.6%); 46.2% received prior treatment with bevacizumab and 38.7% with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. AEs (any grade) were observed in 323 patients (81.2%; grade ≥ 3: n = 174, 43.7%). The most common AEs (any grade) were malaise (14.3%), decreased appetite (13.0%), and neutrophil count decrease (11.6%). At 12 months from treatment commencement, 93.2% of patients had discontinued, mostly due to progressive disease (53.4%) or AEs (28.3%). The 12-month survival rate was 56.7% (95% confidence interval: 51.5 – 61.8). Data from real-world settings demonstrate ramucirumab and docetaxel treatment appears to be tolerable and effective in Japanese patients regardless of patient baseline characteristics and prior treatment.
