Abstract
Nearly two-thirds of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, and many patients with early-stage disease will eventually experience metastatic recurrence. In the absence of a known driver alteration, treatment of metastatic NSCLC is limited to immunotherapy with or without cytotoxic chemotherapy. For most patients with locally advanced unresectable NSCLC, the standard of care involves concurrent chemoradiation followed by consolidative immunotherapy. Several immune checkpoint inhibitors have been developed and approved for NSCLC in both the metastatic and adjuvant settings. This review will discuss sugemalimab, a novel programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor, for the treatment of advanced NSCLC.
