What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who are EGFR and ALK negative. It compares this combination treatment to standard chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy with antiangiogenic therapy. The study employs a Markov Model to analyze the cost-effectiveness of the treatments, utilizing real-world data. Additionally, it includes sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of the findings.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with a histopathological diagnosis of advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who are EGFR and ALK negative and have not received prior systemic chemotherapy.

Not a fit: Patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma or those with serious comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more effective treatment option for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is being evaluated in a real-world setting, similar studies have shown promise in assessing the effectiveness of combination therapies in lung cancer treatment.
