Recruiting PHASE2 Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

New treatment option for Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

Official title Immune Profile Selection By Fraction of ctDNA in Patients With Advanced NSCLC Treated With Immunotherapy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05715229

What this study is testing

What is Nivolumab?

Nivolumab is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for carcinoma, non-small-cell lung.

Also referred to as Opdivo.

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
This clinical trial plans to assess to what extent the on-treatment circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can predict the subset of patients with NSCLC who will respond to immunotherapy treatment only and which patients will need both immunotherapy and chemotherapy modalities for their treatment regimen.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.

Who can take part

Ages 18 and older

You may be able to join if

  • Eligible patients will have newly diagnosed, previously untreated histologically documented Stage IV NSCLC
