This series of bite sized peer-to-peer videos by experienced clinical nurse specialists, specialist registrars and oncologists has been created to share their knowledge and experience of the day-to-day management of patients with mNSCLC treated with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy.
This module is part of a series of modules looking to share HCPs’ experiences across a range of topics. In this module we’ll start with how patients go into combination treatment and explore the proposed mode of action for KEYTRUDA. We’ll then look at the types of immune related adverse events which patients on KEYTRUDA plus chemotherapy may experience and how they may be managed. Finally, we’ll hear from a nurse about supporting patients as they complete their treatment and transition off KEYTRUDA.
- KEYTRUDA as monotherapy is indicated for the first-line treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma in adults whose tumours express PD-L1 with a ≥50% tumour proportion score (TPS) with no EGFR or ALK positive tumour mutations
- KEYTRUDA, in combination with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy, is indicated for the first-line treatment of metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma in adults whose tumours have no EGFR or ALK positive mutations
- KEYTRUDA, in combination with carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel, is indicated for the first-line treatment of metastatic squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma in adults
- KEYTRUDA as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma in adults whose tumours express PD-L1 with a ≥1% TPS and who have received at least one prior chemotherapy regimen. Patients with EGFR or ALK positive tumour mutations should also have received targeted therapy before receiving KEYTRUDA
