Immunotherapy before lung surgery for early lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at giving immunotherapy before surgery for certain early-stage lung cancers to help shrink the tumor and improve outcomes. It is mainly for people whose lung cancer can be removed by surgery and who don’t have specific gene changes like EGFR or ALK.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and can sign consent
- Your lung cancer is a confirmed diagnosis of stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that doctors think can be surgically removed
- Your scans show measurable cancer on standard measurement rules (RECIST 1.1)
- Your overall health is good enough for surgery (ECOG 0–1) and your breathing tests allow lobectomy or pneumonectomy
- Your tumor tests are negative for EGFR mutation and ALK gene change
- You do not have active autoimmune disease and you have not recently used strong immune-suppressing medicines

This trial tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs directly into the tumor before surgery can shrink non-small cell lung cancer and improve outcomes. It is for people with early-stage (IIIA) lung cancer who are candidates for surgery.
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy before surgery helps people with lung cancer. It is for patients who have already started this treatment and are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests adding targeted radiation before standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy for people with stage 2-3 non-small cell lung cancer that can be surgically removed. The goal is to see if the radiation helps shrink the tumor more before surgery.
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.
This trial tests using immunotherapy before surgery or radiation for non-small cell lung cancer. It looks at how safe and effective this approach is and how it affects survival.
This study looks at a treatment plan that uses immunotherapy before and after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients do better and to find out which patients benefit most.
