Cold therapy, immunotherapy, and chemo before and after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests a treatment that uses extreme cold (cryoablation) along with immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy before and after surgery for people with early-stage lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
TianjinAges 18–75 - NCT06926790RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before surgery for stage II-IIIA lung cancer
This trial tests whether two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) given before surgery can help treat non-small cell lung cancer that is stage II to IIIA. It's for people whose tumors are removable and who haven't had prior cancer treatment.
