CONCLUSIONS
High quality evidence showed that treatment with atezolizumab compared with docetaxel as second line therapy in adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer improves overall survival in approximately 4 months; however, no differences in progression free survival were determined.
Moderate quality evidence from indirect comparisons showed differences in overall or progression free survival when comparing therapy with atezolizumab versus other immune therapy alternatives such as nivolumab or pembrolizumab.
The clinical practice guidelines consulted consider atezolizumab as a second-line therapy alternative after having received platinum therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer patients.
The coverage policies consulted from United States sponsors, both public and private, cover it. The European and Latin American public sponsors consulted do not include this technology in their coverage list.
