Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy for lung cancer that may be removed
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) to standard chemotherapy helps people with certain non-squamous lung cancers that doctors think might be surgically removed. You might be considered if your planned treatment involves a “double platinum” chemotherapy or crizotinib and your cancer is potentially resectable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re at least 18 years old
- You have non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer confirmed by a tissue biopsy
- Your cancer is considered potentially resectable (may be operable/able to remove)
- Your treatment plan includes crizotinib or standard platinum-based chemotherapy
- You can safely receive chemotherapy (no medical reason you cannot take it)

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 whether combining pembrolizumab (an immune treatment) with a lung ablation procedure can be safer and more effective for advanced non-small cell lung cancer after standard first treatment fails or the cancer comes back. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
This trial tests adding a new drug (sacituzumab tirumotecan) to pembrolizumab for people with non-small cell lung cancer that did not completely disappear after initial treatment and surgery. The goal is to see if the combination works better than pembrolizumab alone.
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 studies whether adding immune treatment and chemotherapy around the time of lung tumor removal improves outcomes for people with operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). You may qualify if your cancer can be surgically removed and your tumor tests meet required biomarker rules.
This trial tests whether adding new immunotherapy drugs (adebrelimab or retlirafusp alfa plus recaticimab) to standard chemotherapy before lung surgery can help people with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this combination improves outcomes for patients whose tumors can be surgically removed.
