Abstract

A retrospective study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of single‑agent nab‑paclitaxel in 67 patients with platinum‑resistant non‑small cell lung cancer in Kansai Medical University Hospital from August 2013 to December 2015. Overall, 25% of patients experienced disease progression, 48% exhibited a partial response, 27% had stable disease and 0% had a complete response. The median progression‑free survival (PFS) time was 4.8 months and the median overall survival time was 18.2 months. There was no statistically significant difference in PFS between patients with non‑squamous carcinoma and squamous carcinoma, or between second‑line use and post‑second‑line use. The most common severe adverse event was neutropenia, followed by interstitial lung disease, infection and fatigue. The results revealed that single agent nab‑paclitaxel was associated with an acceptable level of toxicity and a favorable response. This regimen has been developed recently, thus it has not been sufficiently evaluated its toxicity and efficacy. Additional studies to evaluate these parameters in non‑small cell lung cancer are warranted.
