Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxane (R)) [hereafter referred to as nab-paclitaxel] is a taxane developed to avoid some of the toxicities associated with solvent-bound (sb) paclitaxel. Nab-paclitaxel, in combination with carboplatin, is indicated for the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients who are not candidates for curative surgery and/or radiation therapy. This article summarizes pharmacological, efficacy and tolerability data relevant to the use of nab-paclitaxel in this indication. Compared with sb-paclitaxel plus carboplatin, nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin significantly improved the objective response rate (ORR), but did not prolong progression-free survival or overall survival (OS), in the overall population of patients with advanced NSCLC in a multinational phase III trial. The nab-paclitaxel regimen also provided benefit over the sb-paclitaxel regimen in certain patient subgroups, including patients with squamous cell histology (in terms of ORR) and patients who were elderly (in terms of OS). Nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin had a manageable tolerability profile with some benefits over sb-paclitaxel plus carboplatin, including lower rates of grade >= 3 neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, arthralgia and myalgia, although was associated with more grade >= 3 anaemia and thrombocytopenia. Given its efficacy and tolerability, intravenous nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin is a valuable first-line treatment option for patients with advanced NSCLC.
