This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Service Executive:
As monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumours have a PDL1 expression >= 50% tumour cells (TC) or >= 10% tumour-infiltrating immune cells (IC) and who do not have EGFR mutant or ALK-positive NSCLC.
