Recruiting PHASE2 Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell

New treatment option for Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell

Official title A Phase II Study of AK112 (PD1/VEGF Bispecific) in Combination with Chemotherapy in Patients with NSCLC

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06769295

What this study is testing

What is AK112?

AK112 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for lung cancer, non-small cell.

Also referred to as Pemetrexed, Carboplatin/Cisplatin.

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 is a phase II study. All patients are stage IV non-squamas non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) with malignant pleura effusion, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
