This phrase is from a news release promoting a new drug to the pharmacology industry. The sentence says " ... este fármaco está indicado como tratamiento de segunda opción para los pacientes que ... "
I've found the English phrase "second-option treatment" as a possible translation for this, but I only come up with 126 hits in Google. It seems that I should get more hits for something like this. Is there a better or more commonly used phrase in English? Thanks for the help!

Second line treatment is the treatment you have if your first course of cancer treatment doesn’t work. Or if your cancer comes back after a period of time.
