First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy after lung cancer surgery can clear tiny bits of tumor DNA from the blood. About 100 adults with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had surgery and still have detectable tumor DNA will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach reduces the chance of cancer coming back.
