Therapeutic indication of the resolution

Tevimbra in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-containing chemotherapy is used for the first-line treatment of non-squamous NSCLC with PD-L1 expression on ≥ 50% of tumour cells without EGFR- or ALK-positive mutations in adult patients who:

– have locally advanced NSCLC and are not eligible for surgical resection or platinum-based radiochemotherapy, or

– have metastatic NSCLC.

  • Clinical trials
    • In the dossier for the benefit assessment, the pharmaceutical manufacturer submitted the results of the RATIONALE 304 registration trial on tislelizumab. This was an open-label, randomised Phase IIIstudy comparing tislelizumab in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) against pemetrexed in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin).

Adults with locally advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), NSCLC) who are not eligible for surgical resection or platinum-based chemoradiotherapy, or with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC, with PD-L1 expression ≥ 50 %, and without EGFR or ALK aberrations; First-line treatment

  • An additional benefit is not proven.
  • Consequently, there are no suitable data available to assess the additional benefit of tislelizumab in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin).
  • Consequently, it is concluded that for tislelizumab in combination with pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin) for the first-line treatment of locally advanced non--squamous cell NSCLC that is not eligible for surgical resection or platinum-based chemoradiotherapy, or for metastatic non-squamous cell NSCLC with PD-L1 expression ≥ 50 %, without EGFR or ALK aberrations. The additional benefit is not proven.
