Immunotherapy and radiation before surgery for lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and a low dose of radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that is borderline resectable (can potentially be removed but is close to nearby structures). It aims to see if this approach can shrink the tumor enough to allow successful surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have non-small cell lung cancer that is stage II to IIIC and considered borderline resectable by your doctors.
- You have not had prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy for lung cancer.
- You have a tumor tissue sample available for testing (or can have a new biopsy).
- You do not have an EGFR mutation or ALK gene change (specific types of lung cancer).
- You have good overall health enough to tolerate surgery, including adequate lung and blood cell function.

This trial tests whether giving low-dose focused radiation and two immunotherapy drugs before lung surgery can improve outcomes for people with operable, resectable non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to shrink or control the cancer before surgery and help reduce the chance it comes back.
This trial tests giving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted radiation before surgery for people with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this combination shrinks tumors and improves outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy, an immunotherapy drug called toripalimab, and chemotherapy given before surgery for stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor before removal and improve survival outcomes.
This trial studies whether giving different cancer medicines before (and sometimes after) surgery improves outcomes for people with early-stage, operable lung cancer that has certain tumor markers. It may help by trying to shrink or control the cancer early and lower the chance it comes back.
This trial tests two medicines given before lung cancer surgery: benmelstobart (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and anlotinib (a targeted therapy that stops blood vessel growth to tumors). The goal is to see if they make the cancer disappear completely by the time of surgery.
This trial tests a combination of an immunotherapy drug (adebrelimab) plus chemotherapy and another drug (recaticimab) before and after surgery for people with stage II or III lung cancer that can be removed. The goal is to see if this approach helps shrink tumors and improves outcomes.
