Abstract
T-cell-directed strategies represent currently a major advance in the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, regarding their efficacy and tolerance. Nivolumab and pembrolizumab, two monoclonal antibodies targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) have shown their efficacy in phase III studies. Several other drugs are developed and the benefit of association is being evaluated. In this article, we propose to summarize the clinical development of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
