Lung cancer

United States

  • combination chemotherapy alone when thoracic radiation therapy is contraindicated[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; treatment choice is shaped by radiation suitability and emergency presentation; limited-stage SCLC when thoracic radiation is contraindicated, or urgent presentation such as superior vena cava syndrome. · This is a pathway exception context, not the preferred standard for otherwise fit limited-stage patients. The fetched source does not define every contraindication to thoracic radiation or the exact emergency-treatment sequencing for an individual case. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ chemotherapy-alone exception and superior-vena-cava-syndrome emergency-treatment framing. No source conflict identified in this cycle.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi) + etoposide + carboplatin or cisplatin[17]FDA-approvedfirst-line adult extensive-stage SCLC. · Direct FDA source for the 2020 ES-SCLC approval was not opened this cycle; ASCO and AstraZeneca pages cite the FDA approval. FDA primary-source confirmation remains a gap for this specific cell. Confidence/conflicts: medium-high; no conflict identified. FDA primary page should be fetched in a later pass.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi) + etoposide + carboplatin or cisplatin[18]Standard option (per U.S. Food and Drug Administration)first-line previously untreated extensive-stage disease. · This FDA notice confirms the U.S. first-line regimen but does not address payer restrictions, later-line reuse, or hospital formulary logistics. Confidence/conflicts: High for the exact FDA first-line ES-SCLC approval scope. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • endobronchial laser therapy, brachytherapy, expandable metal stents, or salvage external-beam radiation therapy[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is symptom-producing local thoracic recurrence or airway obstruction after prior chemotherapy; recurrent SCLC after initial chemotherapy when the immediate problem is malignant airway obstruction or progressive intrathoracic symptoms needing local palliation. · This is a palliative local-control finding, not a disease-modifying systemic approval. The same PDQ section notes that only rare patients achieve long-term survival after salvage radiation in this context. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ palliative-pathway statements covering airway-intervention options and salvage thoracic radiation after chemotherapy failure. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • lorlatinib (Lorbrena)[19]FDA-approvedALK-positive, detected by an FDA-approved test; metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC; FDA page describes a trial in patients who had not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease. · FDA also approved the VENTANA ALK (D5F3) CDx Assay as companion diagnostic for lorlatinib. The approval page distinguishes the 2021 regular approval from the earlier accelerated approval for later-line use.
  • lurbinectedin (Zepzelca)[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; recurrence timing and prior treatment response shape systemic choice rather than a named mutation; recurrent SCLC after first-line therapy, including second-line treatment planning. · This finding records PDQ’s current recurrent-SCLC option listing, not a full label-specific eligibility statement. The same PDQ section stresses that second-line responses are generally limited in duration and that trial participation remains appropriate. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ inclusion of lurbinectedin as a recurrent-SCLC chemotherapy option. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • lurbinectedin (Zepzelca) + atezolizumab (Tecentriq)[20]FDA-approvedno molecular biomarker gating stated; eligibility depends on disease not progressing after the specified first-line induction regimen; maintenance treatment after first-line atezolizumab-carboplatin-etoposide induction without progression. · This is a maintenance indication tied to a specific induction backbone and non-progression requirement. The FDA notice also points to lurbinectedin warnings for myelosuppression, hepatotoxicity, extravasation tissue necrosis, rhabdomyolysis, and embryo-fetal toxicity. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.S. maintenance approval date, indication scope, induction-backbone requirement, and safety-warning framing from the FDA notice. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • lurbinectedin (Zepzelca) + atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs (Tecentriq Hybreza)[20]Standard option (per U.S. Food and Drug Administration)no molecular biomarker gating stated; eligibility depends on disease not progressing after the specified first-line induction regimen; maintenance treatment after first-line subcutaneous atezolizumab-hyaluronidase-carboplatin-etoposide induction without progression. · This finding is route-specific and applies to the subcutaneous atezolizumab-hyaluronidase formulation named in the approval. The FDA notice states the recommended maintenance dosage for atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs is administered every 3 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Confidence/conflicts: High for the distinct U.S. approval scope covering the subcutaneous atezolizumab-hyaluronidase formulation in ES-SCLC maintenance. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), standard dose 25 Gy in 10 fractions[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionresponse-based selection; no molecular biomarker gating stated; post-response CNS-relapse-risk reduction after complete remission in limited-stage SCLC. · This finding captures PDQ’s remission-based PCI framing and standard-dose reference, not individualized neurocognitive-risk decision-making. The source does not imply PCI is mandatory for every patient in remission. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ PCI indication framing, CNS-risk reduction statement, and standard-dose 25 Gy in 10 fractions reference. No source conflict identified in this cycle.
  • radiation therapy, including whole-brain radiation therapy for brain metastases[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is metastatic-site symptom burden and whether chemotherapy is likely to palliate promptly; extensive-stage SCLC with symptomatic metastatic disease needing local palliation in addition to or ahead of systemic chemotherapy effect. · This is PDQ pathway guidance rather than a branded label. The finding is about local palliation and site-directed control, not about replacing systemic therapy for extensive-stage disease. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ description of palliative radiation as a standard option for extensive-stage SCLC metastatic sites and for whole-brain radiation therapy in brain metastases. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • selpercatinib (Retevmo)[21]FDA-approvedRET fusion-positive, detected by an FDA-approved test; locally advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC. · FDA page states selpercatinib had previously received accelerated approval for the NSCLC indication in 2020 and was converted to regular approval in 2022 based on additional LIBRETTO-001 data.
  • surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation therapy[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; small tumor extent and nodal confinement define the surgical subset; minority of patients with very limited limited-stage SCLC in a resection-eligible setting. · The PDQ explicitly says the role of surgery is unproven and should be considered case by case because randomized trials have not demonstrated an overall-survival benefit when surgery is added to chemoradiation. This is not a routine SCLC surgery recommendation for most patients. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ description of surgery as a minority very-limited-stage option with adjuvant-therapy context and lack of randomized-survival proof. No source conflict identified in this cycle.
  • thoracic radiation therapy[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is response after initial chemotherapy; post-chemotherapy consolidative thoracic-radiation consideration for extensive-stage SCLC that has responded to systemic treatment. · PDQ summarizes this as an available option after response, not a universal requirement for every responding patient. The cited trial data in PDQ show improved intrathoracic control and secondary survival signals, but the page still frames this as a response-dependent radiation decision. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ statement that chemotherapy-responsive extensive-stage SCLC patients may receive thoracic radiation therapy. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • topotecan (generic; Hycamtin)[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; recurrence timing and prior treatment response shape systemic choice rather than a named mutation; recurrent SCLC after first-line therapy, including second-line treatment planning. · This is PDQ pathway guidance rather than a label extract, and it does not specify which recurrence subgroups should preferentially receive topotecan over other options. The same PDQ section notes that benefit depends on whether relapse is sensitive or resistant and that responses after second-line therapy are usually short-lived. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ statement that topotecan is a standard chemotherapy option for recurrent SCLC. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • topotecan and lurbinectedin (Zepzelca) as recurrent-disease systemic options[16]NCI PDQ: standard optionno molecular biomarker gating stated; recurrence timing and chemosensitivity shape option selection; recurrent SCLC after first-line therapy, including second-line treatment planning. · This finding groups two recurrent-disease systemic options from the same PDQ section and does not provide label-level eligibility or dosing. The page also stresses that benefit depends on whether relapse is sensitive or resistant, with generally limited survival after second-line therapy. Confidence/conflicts: High for the PDQ recurrent-SCLC option list naming topotecan as a standard chemotherapy and lurbinectedin as another option. No source conflict identified in this cycle.
  • trilaciclib (Cosela)[22]Standard option (per U.S. Food and Drug Administration)no molecular biomarker gating stated; eligibility depends on receiving a platinum-etoposide-containing chemotherapy regimen for ES-SCLC; supportive-care use before platinum-etoposide-containing chemotherapy for ES-SCLC. · This is a supportive-care indication rather than an antitumor treatment approval. The label states COSELA is given as a 30-minute intravenous infusion completed within 4 hours before chemotherapy on each treatment day. Confidence/conflicts: High for the exact FDA label indication covering prechemotherapy myeloprotection before platinum-etoposide-containing ES-SCLC treatment. No conflicting primary U.S. source was reviewed in this cycle.

European Union

  • durvalumab (Imfinzi)[23]Standard option (per European Medicines Agency)post-platinum-based chemoradiation, no-progression limited-stage adult disease. · This confirms current EU central-authorisation wording only. It does not establish member-state reimbursement or local post-chemoradiation sequencing rules. Confidence/conflicts: High for the exact current SmPC indication wording. This batch was run specifically to replace the earlier HTML-page consistency caveat with the downloadable product information.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi)[23]Standard option (per European Medicines Agency)none stated; LS-SCLC post-chemoradiation and ES-SCLC first-line adult disease. · This is a careful inference from the structure of the current SmPC, not a standalone sentence saying that biomarker testing is unnecessary. Keep it framed as a document-based no-biomarker-prerequisite read, not as a broader biologic claim. Confidence/conflicts: Moderate-high. The source directly shows explicit biomarker-testing language for some Imfinzi indications and none for SCLC, but this cell remains an inference from document structure rather than a quoted affirmative statement.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi) + etoposide + carboplatin or cisplatin[23]Standard option (per European Medicines Agency)first-line extensive-stage adult disease. · This confirms central-authorisation status only. It does not establish country-specific reimbursement, formulary availability, or later-line reuse. Confidence/conflicts: High for the exact current SmPC first-line ES-SCLC indication wording. No conflicting primary EU source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi) with etoposide and either carboplatin or cisplatin[11]Standard option (per European Medicines Agency)no molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is previously untreated extensive-stage disease; first-line treatment for untreated extensive-stage SCLC in the European Union. · This verifies EU central authorisation status, not member-state reimbursement or practical access in any specific EU country. Confidence/conflicts: High for EU central-authorisation status of first-line ES-SCLC from the current EMA product-details section. No conflicting primary EU source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • tarlatamab (Imdylltra)[24]EMA authorisedDLL3-targeting bispecific; no biomarker test requirement stated in fetched EMA/EC sources; ES-SCLC after relapse/progression during or after platinum-based chemotherapy. · EMA states pricing and reimbursement decisions occur at member-state level after marketing authorisation. Amgen release is a company source for the EC decision; EMA product page should be fetched in a later pass when available. Confidence/conflicts: medium-high; EMA confirms positive CHMP opinion and Amgen reports EC authorisation. EMA EPAR/EC decision page remains preferred follow-up source.
  • tislelizumab (Tevimbra) + etoposide + platinum chemotherapy[25]Standard option (per European Medicines Agency)no molecular biomarker gating stated in the fetched EMA SCLC indication text; first-line treatment for adult extensive-stage SCLC. · This verifies EU central authorisation status only. It does not establish reimbursement, hospital formulary uptake, or routine availability in any specific EU member state. Confidence/conflicts: High for EU central-authorisation status of first-line ES-SCLC from the current EMA product-details section. No conflicting primary EU source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • tislelizumab (Tevimbra) + platinum-based chemotherapy + etoposide[25]Standard option (per European Medicines Agency)no molecular biomarker gating stated in the fetched EMA SCLC study summary; first-line untreated extensive-stage SCLC. · This is an EMA efficacy-summary finding, not a separate reimbursement or comparative-effectiveness decision by any member state. Confidence/conflicts: High for the EMA overview efficacy summary reporting 15.5-month versus 13.5-month overall survival in untreated ES-SCLC. No conflicting primary EU source was reviewed in this cycle.

United Kingdom

  • Tarlatamab (Imdylltra)[26]NICE recommendedES-SCLC after two or more prior lines of treatment including platinum-based chemotherapy. · This is a negative NHS England routine-funding recommendation, not a statement about private access, clinical trials, or other UK nations. NICE records marketing-authorisation indication separately from its funding recommendation. Confidence/conflicts: High for NICE recommendation; conflict/contrast with U.S. FDA approval and EU authorisation context is jurisdictional, not evidentiary.
  • amivantamab (Rybrevant) + lazertinib (Lazcluze)[27]ApprovedEGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutation; untreated advanced NSCLC. · NICE frames this against usual treatments including osimertinib-based regimens and makes the recommendation conditional on commercial arrangements.
  • atezolizumab with carboplatin and etoposide[28]NICE recommendedno molecular biomarker gating stated; NICE recommendation is limited by ECOG performance status 0 or 1; first-line treatment for untreated extensive-stage SCLC in adults meeting the NICE ECOG requirement. · This is an England NICE reimbursement recommendation, not a whole-UK drug-label statement. The finding should not be generalized to patients outside the stated ECOG range. Confidence/conflicts: High for the England NICE recommendation scope, untreated ES-SCLC setting, and ECOG 0 to 1 restriction. No conflicting primary U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • chemoradiotherapy, meaning chemotherapy together with radiotherapy[29]Standard option (per Cancer Research UK)no molecular biomarker gating stated; treatment selection is stage- and fitness-based; initial treatment for limited-stage SCLC in people fit enough for combined-modality therapy. · This is a U.K. treatment-information page rather than a brand-specific commissioning or label source. The page does not specify the exact chemotherapy regimen or radiotherapy schedule within this finding. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.K. statement that combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the main treatment for limited-stage SCLC. No conflicting U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy[29]Standard option (per Cancer Research UK)no molecular biomarker gating stated; fitness for concurrent treatment is the relevant selector; limited-stage SCLC when the person is not fit enough for combined concurrent chemoradiotherapy. · The page gives a broad sequencing option and does not define a formal U.K. fitness threshold or specific sequential regimen. This should not be read as equivalent to the preferred concurrent approach when that is feasible. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.K. sequential chemotherapy-then-radiotherapy fallback statement in limited-stage SCLC. No conflicting U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • chemotherapy, either alone or combined with radiotherapy or immunotherapy[30]Standard option (per NHS)no molecular biomarker gating stated; treatment choice is framed by stage and clinical condition rather than a named mutation; general U.K. SCLC treatment-pathway framing across cases where systemic therapy is being planned. · The NHS page is a broad treatment overview and does not assign specific regimens, commissioning rules, or stage-by-stage sequencing within this finding. Confidence/conflicts: High for the NHS statement that SCLC is usually treated with chemotherapy alone or combined with radiotherapy or immunotherapy. No conflicting primary U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • cyclical chemotherapy, with most people needing 4 to 6 cycles over 3 to 6 months[30]Standard option (per NHS)no molecular biomarker gating stated; chemotherapy-course planning depends on cancer type and grade rather than a named mutation in the fetched page; NHS chemotherapy-delivery planning when chemotherapy is being used for lung cancer including SCLC contexts. · This scheduling language is from a broad lung-cancer chemotherapy section rather than an SCLC-specific protocol. It should not be mistaken for a fixed regimen rule for every SCLC case. Confidence/conflicts: Moderate to high for the NHS description of how lung-cancer chemotherapy is commonly delivered in cycles and over multi-month courses. The scope caveat is important because the page is not an SCLC-specific regimen protocol.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi)[31]Standard option (per electronic medicines compendium / AstraZeneca UK Limited)no molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is disease that has not progressed after platinum-based chemoradiation therapy; post-chemoradiation monotherapy for adults with limited-stage SCLC without progression after platinum-based chemoradiation. · This verifies current U.K. label status only. It does not by itself establish England-specific NICE funding, NHS commissioning, or local formulary uptake. Confidence/conflicts: High for the exact current U.K. SmPC indication text for LS-SCLC after platinum-based chemoradiation without progression. No conflicting primary U.K. label source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi) with etoposide and either carboplatin or cisplatin, followed by durvalumab monotherapy[31]Standard option (per electronic medicines compendium / AstraZeneca UK Limited)no molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is previously untreated extensive-stage disease; first-line treatment for untreated extensive-stage SCLC, using durvalumab with platinum-etoposide induction followed by durvalumab maintenance monotherapy. · This verifies current labelled regimen structure in the U.K. SmPC. It does not confirm a NICE appraisal, NHS England commissioning status, or actual center-level availability. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.K. SmPC statement covering first-line ES-SCLC and for the linked dosing table showing induction followed by durvalumab monotherapy. No conflicting primary U.K. label source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy[29]Standard option (per Cancer Research UK)no molecular biomarker gating stated; post-treatment disease-control status and general fitness are the relevant selectors; post-chemoradiotherapy limited-stage SCLC when the cancer has not grown and the person is fit enough for further treatment. · The page does not name a specific immunotherapy medicine, funding route, or appraisal. This verifies the broad U.K. post-chemoradiotherapy immunotherapy pathway concept only, not the exact branded access statement for durvalumab. Confidence/conflicts: High for the broad U.K. statement that some people receive immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy if the cancer has not grown and fitness is adequate. Exact branded NHS commissioning remains unverified in this cycle.
  • lorlatinib (Lorviqua)[32]NICE recommendedALK-positive; untreated with prior ALK inhibitor; advanced ALK-positive NSCLC in adults. · NICE recommendation is tied to the commercial arrangement and should not be generalized outside the NICE-covered NHS context without local verification.
  • prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI)[30]Standard option (per NHS)no molecular biomarker gating stated; selection is based on brain-metastasis risk within the SCLC pathway; brain-metastasis-risk reduction during SCLC treatment. · The fetched NHS page gives a broad PCI description and does not specify remission criteria, dose schedule, or neurocognitive tradeoff discussions in this finding. Confidence/conflicts: High for the NHS confirmation that PCI is sometimes used during SCLC treatment as a preventative whole-brain radiation measure. No conflicting primary U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • regular MRI brain surveillance instead of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI)[29]Standard option (per Cancer Research UK)no molecular biomarker gating stated; the selector is post-treatment brain-surveillance planning after disease control; post-treatment limited-stage SCLC after the lung cancer has stopped growing, when the team is choosing brain-risk management between PCI and MRI surveillance. · This page frames MRI surveillance as an alternative monitoring pathway and does not define a detailed scan interval. The best option is explicitly described as something the healthcare team discusses with the patient. Confidence/conflicts: High for the U.K. MRI-surveillance-instead-of-PCI statement after treatment. No conflicting U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.
  • selpercatinib (Retsevmo)[33]NICE recommendedRET fusion-positive; previously treated RET fusion-positive advanced NSCLC not previously treated with a RET inhibitor; separate managed-access route for untreated advanced disease. · Recommendation scope does not include everyone licensed for selpercatinib; TA1042 evaluates previously treated disease and references managed access for untreated disease under TA911.
  • surgery with postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy[30]Standard option (per NHS)no molecular biomarker gating stated; the key selector is unusually early-stage disease; very early-stage SCLC where surgery is exceptionally being considered. · This is an exception-pathway finding. The NHS source explicitly frames surgery as uncommon in SCLC and does not define a formal surgical eligibility checklist. Confidence/conflicts: High for the NHS framing that surgery is uncommon in SCLC but may be used very early, with adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy possible afterward. No conflicting primary U.K. source was reviewed in this cycle.

Japan

  • durvalumab (Imfinzi) + platinum agent + etoposide[13]PMDA-approved (Japan)extensive-stage SCLC; AstraZeneca page describes first-line treatment, and PMDA review describes chemotherapy-naive ES-SCLC CASPIAN development. · PMDA report includes an approval condition requiring development and appropriate implementation of a risk management plan and notes further investigation of febrile neutropenia via post-marketing surveillance. Confidence/conflicts: high for Japanese approval and indication scope; no source conflict identified. Reimbursement was not assessed.
  • lazertinib mesilate hydrate (Lazcluze) + amivantamab (Rybrevant)[34]PMDA-approved (Japan)EGFR mutation-positive; unresectable advanced or recurrent EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC. · PMDA list and update confirm Japanese approval/indication scope but do not by themselves establish reimbursement status, sequencing, or individual eligibility. A PMDA precautions document notes renal-impairment considerations for the concomitant amivantamab/lazertinib use context. Confidence/conflicts: high for approval and Japanese indication class; no source conflict identified. Reimbursement not assessed.
  • lorlatinib (Lorbrena)[34]PMDA-approved (Japan)ALK fusion gene-positive; initially ALK TKI-resistant/intolerant unresectable advanced/recurrent disease; later indication change for unresectable advanced/recurrent ALK fusion gene-positive NSCLC. · PMDA review report required risk-management and post-marketing use-results survey conditions because Japanese clinical-study data were limited. The source does not establish reimbursement or individual eligibility. Confidence/conflicts: high for PMDA approval-list and review-report claims; no source conflict identified. Reimbursement not assessed.
  • selpercatinib (Retevmo)[34]PMDA-approved (Japan)RET fusion gene-positive; RET fusion gene-positive unresectable advanced or recurrent NSCLC. · PMDA list records approval and indication but does not establish reimbursement, line sequencing, or patient-specific eligibility. Later PMDA list entry also records a 2024 indication/dosage change for RET fusion gene-positive advanced or recurrent solid tumor. Confidence/conflicts: high for PMDA approval-list entry; no source conflict identified. Reimbursement not assessed.

Korea

  • amivantamab (Rybrevant) + lazertinib[35]ApprovedEGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutation; first-line treatment in adults with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations. · This is an access/reimbursement finding, not proof of lack of MFDS approval. HIRA also notes coverage criteria may be set differently within MFDS-approved indications and may change during subsequent procedures. Confidence/conflicts: high for HIRA reimbursement-not-established result; MFDS approval status not verified in this finding. based on a company press release — confirm against the regulator label
  • atezolizumab (Tecentriq) + carboplatin + etoposide[36]Approvedfirst-line extensive-stage SCLC. · The fetched KBR article is an English secondary source; HIRA/MFDS primary confirmation remains a follow-up gap. Do not treat this as a current full reimbursement criteria extract. Confidence/conflicts: medium; no conflict identified, but primary HIRA/MFDS source should be fetched in a later pass.
  • durvalumab (Imfinzi)[37]MFDS-approved (Korea)limited-stage SCLC as monotherapy following platinum-based chemoradiotherapy. · This cell is based on an English KBR social-post mirror because the KBR article itself returned 403 on direct fetch and MFDS primary label was not fetched this cycle. Exact current label wording and reimbursement status need MFDS/HIRA confirmation. Confidence/conflicts: medium-low; no conflict identified, but MFDS primary confirmation is needed.
  • selpercatinib (Retevmo)[35]MFDS-approved (Korea)RET fusion-positive; locally advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC. · HIRA states reimbursement criteria were established; exact reimbursement criteria details and implementation timing may change during subsequent procedures. KBR is a secondary media source for MFDS approval history and should be superseded by MFDS primary label when fetched. Confidence/conflicts: high for HIRA reimbursement committee result; medium for MFDS approval details because primary MFDS source was not fetched. No conflict identified; KBR's uninsured statement predates the later HIRA result. based on a company press release — confirm against the regulator label
  • tarlatamab (Imdelltra)[38]MFDS-approved (Korea)DLL3-targeting bispecific; no biomarker test requirement stated in fetched sources; third-line ES-SCLC after at least two prior therapies including platinum-based chemotherapy. · KBR reports that few Korean patients were receiving Imdelltra and that reimbursement coverage had been filed with HIRA but was not yet established at the time of the May 2026 article. HMA-EMA catalogue describes a planned South Korea post-marketing observational study for patients prescribed tarlatamab according to approved South Korean indications. Confidence/conflicts: medium-high for Korean approval/access status as reported; no conflict identified. MFDS/HIRA primary documents remain preferred follow-up sources.

China

  • atezolizumab (Tecentriq) + carboplatin + etoposide[39]NMPA-approved (China)first-line extensive-stage SCLC. · NMPA primary page linked in the Frontiers article failed to fetch this cycle with a 412/error response, so this cell relies on Roche's NMPA-attributed release and a peer-reviewed article summarizing NMPA-approved first-line ES-SCLC ICI combinations.

Beyond approved care

In clinical trials & emerging options

Options that are not — or not yet — an approved standard where you live: studies, clinical trials, off-label use, and early evidence that your own oncologist may not raise. Each is labeled by how strong the evidence is. A listing here is information to research and discuss with your team; it does not mean a treatment is proven, safe for you, or available today.

A clinical-trial listing or early report shows an option is being studied — not that it works, that it is safe for any one person, or that a site is enrolling today. Whether any of these fits is a conversation for your oncology team and the trial team. Last checked June 2026.

What this page does

Maps options by country

It maps sourced options by country alongside diagnosis wording, stage, test results, specialists, and trial-search terms.

What it does not do

Does not choose treatment

It does not rank treatments, recommend a choice, or decide clinical fit.

Where it comes from

Built on trusted sources

Every option links to a trusted regulator, HTA, or guideline source, and the list grows as new sources pass verification.

Why this condition is included

  • Families often need to separate non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, stage, and biomarker testing.
  • The first MatchMedi version should help users gather the right report details before a lung oncology visit.
  • Each option links to its regulator, HTA, or guideline source, with country-specific access noted where known.

Information to gather before the next visit

  • Is the diagnosis non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, or another subtype?
  • What stage is documented, and is the cancer resectable?
  • Which biomarker tests were ordered or completed?
  • Did the oncologist mention immunotherapy, targeted therapy, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or trials?
