Recruiting PHASE2, PHASE3 Metastatic NSCLC

New treatment option for Metastatic NSCLC

Official title De-escalation Immunotherapy mAintenance Duration Trial for Stage IV Lung Cancer Patients With Disease Control After Chemo-immunotherapy Induction

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05255302

What this study is testing

What is Pembrolizumab before randomization?

Pembrolizumab before randomization is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic nsclc.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Immunotherapeutic approaches recently have demonstrated clinical efficacy in several cancer types, including melanoma and NSCLC. As a matter of fact, first registration trials of immune-checkpoints inhibitors (ICI) in second-line settings (pembrolizumab as well as nivolumab or atezolizumab) had stated that ICI could be continued until disease progression or not tolerable toxicity, up to 5 years.
