Nivolumab and immune cells in advanced lung cancer
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at the level of a specific type of immune cell (large granular lymphocytes) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread. It aims to see if these cells affect how well the drug nivolumab works. This could help doctors understand which patients benefit most from treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two standard treatments for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer when the tumor has low levels of a protein called PD-L1. It looks at how well chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab works versus chemotherapy plus nivolumab and ipilimumab.
This trial tests combining two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) with chemotherapy as a first treatment for advanced lung cancer that has spread or come back. It may help if your cancer hasn't been treated before and doesn't have certain genetic changes.
This study is looking at immune markers in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be cured. It tests how well the immune system responds to treatment, and may help guide future care.
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.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of the immunotherapy drug nivolumab combined with standard chemotherapy works better than chemotherapy alone for people with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not been treated before.
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.
