NSCLC Treatment Pathway

See where clinical trials fit into your treatment journey

1st Line Treatment

Initial treatment after diagnosis of advanced or metastatic NSCLC

Standard: Chemotherapy + Immunotherapy (e.g. Pembrolizumab + Carboplatin + Pemetrexed)

2nd Line Treatment

After progression on 1st-line therapy

Standard: Immunotherapy or Docetaxel � Ramucirumab

3rd Line + Treatment

After multiple progressions � clinical trials are especially important here

Standard: Clinical trial enrollment or salvage therapy

Maintenance

Ongoing treatment after initial response

Standard: Pembrolizumab or Pemetrexed maintenance

About NSCLC

What is NSCLC?

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. Subtypes include adenocarcinoma (most common), squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.

Why Clinical Trials Matter

Lung cancer treatment is evolving rapidly. New immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and combination treatments are being tested that may improve outcomes compared to standard care.

Am I Eligible?

Eligibility depends on your specific subtype, stage, biomarker status (PD-L1, EGFR, ALK, KRAS), prior treatments, and overall health. Each trial has specific criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

Active targets include EGFR mutations (Osimertinib successors), ALK rearrangements, ROS1, BRAF, MET exon 14 skipping, RET fusions, and KRAS G12C. Many next-generation targeted drugs are in UK trials.

Yes. Immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, Atezolizumab) is standard first-line treatment for many NSCLC patients. Trials study new combinations, bispecific antibodies, and personalised immunotherapy approaches.

Most modern NSCLC trials require molecular profiling of your tumour to match you with the right targeted therapy. Comprehensive genomic testing is increasingly available on the NHS.
