Chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or cannot be removed with surgery. The goal is to see how well this treatment works in patients with different levels of daily activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-small cell lung cancer that has spread or cannot be removed surgically.
- You have not had chemotherapy or immunotherapy for this stage of cancer before.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are able to care for yourself and are up and about more than half of your waking hours (ECOG 0-2).
- You have adequate bone marrow and organ function, as determined by blood tests.
- You do not have certain genetic changes (like EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or BRAF) that have approved targeted therapies as first-line treatment.

This Phase 1 study tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) given together with a chemotherapy drug to treat non-small cell lung cancer that is locally advanced or has spread. It’s aimed at people who can handle treatment with an ECOG performance status of 2, including some with certain types of brain metastases.
This trial tests a new study drug called PF-08634404 combined with standard chemotherapy for people with advanced lung cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and two newer cancer-fighting drugs (tislelizumab and surufatinib) for patients with Stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
This trial compares chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy to immunotherapy alone for adults 70 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific protein level (PD-L1 1-49%). It aims to find which treatment works better for this group.
This trial tests a new approach for people with certain advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest but might still be removed. It combines a short course of high-precision radiation, immunotherapy (sintilimab), and standard chemotherapy before surgery to see if it can improve outcomes.
This trial is comparing a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) plus chemotherapy against the standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has a certain protein (PD-L1) on at least 1% of its cells. The goal is to see if the new combination works better.
