The FDA has approved two immunotherapy agents for NSCLC, nivolumab (Opdivo) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda) as an option for patients who already received one line of chemotherapy that did not work. These two agents work by blocking the PD-1 pathway, which lets the patient's immune system attack the cancer.
