Zusammenfassung:Background Chemoimmunotherapy has become a standard treatment option for patients with untreated advanced non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, numerous patients with advanced NSCLC develop disease progression. Therefore, the selection of second‐line treatment after chemoimmunotherapy is crucial for improving clinical outcomes. Methods Of 88 enrolled patients with advanced NSCLC who received chemoimmunotherapy, we retrospectively evaluated 33 who received second‐line chemotherapy after progression of chemoimmunotherapy at six centers in Japan. Among them, 18 patients received docetaxel plus ramucirumab and 15 patients received single‐agent chemotherapy. Results The objective response rate in patients treated with docetaxel plus ramucirumab was significantly higher than that in patients treated with a single‐agent chemotherapy regimen (55.6% vs. 0%, p
