MRD-guided immunotherapy plus chemo after lung cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a cancer-fighting immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and chemotherapy after surgery can lower the chance of lung cancer coming back. It uses “MRD” (measurable remaining disease) to help decide who may benefit the most after resection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 or older and have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) confirmed by pathology
- Have had your tumor completely removed by surgery, and your stage is IIA, IIB, IIIA, or IIIB (T3N2)
- Provide enough tissue samples (fresh frozen or stored pathology slides) for MRD testing
- Be able to do study visits and tests, and have an ECOG activity score of 0 or 1
- Have not had certain prior immune medicines (like anti–PD-1/PD-L1 or anti–CTLA-4) or other systemic immune-modulating treatments

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests adding the immunotherapy drug Adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy before surgery for people with stage II or III non-small cell lung cancer (the most common type) that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors more effectively and improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of radiation, immunotherapy (QL1706), and chemotherapy given before surgery for non-small-cell lung cancer that can be removed. It aims to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This study tests if adding an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) to chemotherapy and specially planned radiation works better for stage 3 lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It may be an option if you have not had previous treatment for this cancer.
This study tests an additional treatment after surgery for stage II–III non-small cell lung cancer that may still have a chance of coming back (called MRD positive). It aims to see if this extra treatment reduces recurrence risk.
This trial tests whether using the immunotherapy drug sintilimab after surgery, guided by a blood test that looks for tiny bits of cancer DNA (MRD), can help keep non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. It is for people who had immunotherapy before surgery and still had some cancer left after the operation.
This study tests whether giving a combination of the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab and chest radiation before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer. The goal is to find out if this approach helps shrink the tumor and makes surgery more effective.
