Maintenance cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after lung cancer control
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether continuing treatment with cabozantinib plus pembrolizumab after your metastatic squamous lung cancer responds (or is stable) can help people live longer and stay in control. It may be an option if your cancer has already shown it can respond to initial (first-line) treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 or older and can sign consent forms for the study and for sharing health information
- You have metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC) confirmed by biopsy or lab testing
- You are starting this study as part of first control after stage IV treatment (only if you did not progress after induction therapy)
- Your general health is fair (ECOG score 0 to 2) and the doctor expects you have at least 6 months to live
- Your blood counts and organ tests (kidney, liver, blood proteins) meet the study’s lab thresholds
- You’ve had tumor PD-L1 testing done (so the study can characterize your tumor)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a combination of two medications given after initial chemotherapy to keep advanced squamous lung cancer from growing. It might help patients whose cancer has not spread too much and who are generally in good health.
This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, cabozantinib and atezolizumab, for people with advanced lung cancer that has low PD-L1 levels. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help control the cancer.
This Phase 3 trial tests two maintenance schedules (“usual” dose versus a lower dose) of pembrolizumab after your initial chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. It aims to see if the lower dose works well enough to control cancer while possibly reducing side effects.
This trial studies how well cabozantinib works in advanced lung cancer when the tumor has certain gene changes (like RET, ROS1, NTRK, MET, or AXL). It may help slow tumor growth after standard treatments, depending on your tumor test results.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (nab-paclitaxel, lenvatinib, and pembrolizumab) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer grew after first-line treatment with immunotherapy and chemo. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer.
This trial studies cabozantinib given after standard treatment to try to keep high-risk pediatric solid tumors from coming back or getting worse. It is offered to children and young adults whose cancer has not fully disappeared but is not progressing at the start of this maintenance phase.
