Review of real-world experience with lurbinectedin in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer.

Lurbinectedin, a novel antineoplastic agent, was granted the orphan drug designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and approved for use in relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer in June 2020. The approval was granted after its efficacy was demonstrated in a multicenter open-label, multi-cohort study enrolling 105 participants. Since then, real-world studies have examined the efficacy and safety profiles of lurbinectedin in clinical practice. By examining these outcomes, this review aims to provide clinicians with the tools necessary to make informed clinical decisions.
