Non-ICI anticancer treatments are grouped by pharmacological class and all are attributed a 4-character abbreviation (e.g. cl_anth_ambi refers to a current line use of anthracycline ambirubicin). For drugs out of the list, there is an “other” section, with abbreviation othr, followed by a freetext variable.
