Purpose: Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represent the standard of care for platinum-pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients. Patients treated with ICIs may experience immune-related adverse events (irAEs), that might reflect antitumor responses. Here we evaluated nivolumab efficacy according to the development of irAEs....

The possibility of delayed immune-related responses implies that patients who experience progressive disease may benefit from treatment with immunotherapy beyond progression (TBP). Here we demonstrated that a substantial proportion of patients with non–small-cell lung cancer treated with nivolumab, who were clinically stable and judged to be...
