Abstract

This is a retrospective, descriptive study with longitudinal follow-up aimed to evaluate the efficacy and adverse effects of pembrolizumab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Medical records of patients from 4 hospitals in Vietnam between June 2018 and August 2022 were reviewed. Of 46 patients included in the study, 21 patients (45.7%) were treated with pemetrexed and carboplatin combination pembrolizumab regimen. The median progression-free survival time was 11.0 months (95%CI: 7.3 - 14.6 months). The survival rates of patients after 1 year and 2 years were 80.5% and 45.0%, respectively. The most common adverse effects were anemia and elevated liver enzymes but these were mostly of mild and moderate severity.
