Oral chemo and immunotherapy for older adults with lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing a combination of an oral chemotherapy pill (vinorelbine) and an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people aged 65 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have not had treatment before. The goal is to see if this approach can help control the cancer with fewer side effects.

This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for people 65 or older with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before and expresses PD-L1. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer.
This study tests a milder chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1) as the first treatment for advanced lung cancer in older or frailer adults. It aims to see if this approach works better with fewer side effects.
This trial compares chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy to immunotherapy alone for adults 70 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific protein level (PD-L1 1-49%). It aims to find which treatment works better for this group.
This trial tests a new way to treat non-small cell lung cancer in people aged 70 or older. You will receive oral chemotherapy (paclitaxel) with immunotherapy and focused radiation (SBRT) before surgery, hoping to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether a reduced dose of chemotherapy plus an immunotherapy drug (Cemiplimab) works better than Cemiplimab alone for older or frail patients with advanced lung cancer whose PD-L1 level is below 50%. It aims to find a gentler but effective treatment option.
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug called serplulimab in patients aged 65 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The drug works by helping your immune system fight cancer cells that have a specific marker called PD-L1.
