What the paper says

Pembrolizumab plus platinum therapy is unlikely to be cost-effective for mNSCLC. The higher ICER with RWE compared to RCT data suggests that trial-based outcomes may overestimate effectiveness in routine practice. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating RWE into post-approval reassessment for high-cost oncology therapies.
