  1. For age and adenocarcinoma the number of patients refers to patients with non-squamous NSCLC (N = 706) and available data; for chemotherapy the data refer to the analysis population (N = 987) with available data. For chemotherapy combinations only subgroups with n > 50 patients are displayed; multiple counts were possible
  2. aOther carboplatin combinations include bevacizumab/carboplatin, bevacizumab/carboplatin/docetaxel, bevacizumab/carboplatin/vinorelbine, and carboplatin/paclitaxel without bevacizumab (only subgroups with n ≥ 10 patients mentioned)
  3. bOther cisplatin combinations include bevacizumab/cisplatin and bevacizumab/cisplatin/paclitaxel (only subgroups with n ≥ 10 patients mentioned)
