Combining immunotherapy and chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness and safety of a treatment regimen that combines a PD-1 antibody with platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study aims to determine if this combination therapy can convert initially unresectable tumors into resectable ones, potentially allowing for surgical intervention. Participants will receive serplulimab along with carboplatin, pemetrexed, nab-paclitaxel, and liposomal paclitaxel. The trial will assess both the therapeutic outcomes and the safety profile of this approach.
