Which treatment after first line therapy in NSCLC patients without genetic alterations in the era of immunotherapy?

Cancer immunotherapy has produced an unprecedented durable response rate, thus shifting from traditional doublet chemotherapy to immunotherapy-based treatments with and without chemotherapy as the first line strategies for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients without a molecular driver. However, the majority of patients do not benefit from the treatment or may relapse after a period of response. As few treatment options are available after failure of cancer immunotherapy, including the combination of chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs, a better understanding of the mechanisms limiting cancer immunotherapy may be of help in the definition of the best second line. Whereas only retrospective data support an immunotherapy rechallenge approach, new combination strategies including immunotherapy and cell-signaling inhibitors or double immunotherapy represent the newest and most promising strategy to overcome primary or acquired resistance to first line immunotherapy.
