Immunotherapy re-treatment for veterans with lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether restarting immunotherapy along with chemotherapy and radiation can help veterans with stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. It's for people whose tumors have a certain protein (PD-L1) and who haven't had these treatments before for advanced cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are physically active enough to do daily activities (ECOG score 0 or 1).
- Your lung cancer is stage III and cannot be removed surgically.
- Your tumor tests positive for a protein called PD-L1 (at least 1%).
- You have not had radiation to the chest or chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer before.
- You do not have an autoimmune disease needing strong immune-suppressing drugs, active tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C, or HIV.

This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy again can help people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose disease stayed stable for at least 2 years on their first immunotherapy but then started growing. It aims to see if a second course of treatment can work again.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a virus to attack cancer cells, combined with standard chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug, for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination works better than a different chemotherapy drug alone.
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.
This trial tests an investigational microbiome therapy (EXL01) combined with nivolumab (an immunotherapy) for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer whose cancer continued to grow after standard immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding EXL01 can help the immune system fight the cancer again.
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation for patients with stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to chemoradiation alone.
This trial tests a three-drug combination (ipilimumab, nivolumab, and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) as a first treatment for people with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can help your immune system fight the cancer more effectively.
