Combining Glutathione with Anti-PD-1 and Chemotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer

Official title: Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial of Glutathione Combined With PD-1 Antibody and Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University · NCT06896422 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if adding glutathione to standard chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 treatment can help people with advanced lung cancer feel better and improve their response to treatment after their disease has progressed.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed lung squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma who have shown disease progression after first-line treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with small cell lung cancer or other histological subtypes of lung cancer will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of glutathione in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy and chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study aims to determine if glutathione can enhance the immune response and improve treatment efficacy by modulating immune cell dynamics and reducing oxidative stress. Participants will receive glutathione alongside standard chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitors to assess the potential benefits of this combination therapy. The trial focuses on patients who have experienced disease progression after initial treatment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates for patients with advanced NSCLC.

How similar studies have gone: While the combination of glutathione with chemotherapy and immunotherapy is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in enhancing immune responses in cancer treatment.
