Summary
This study tests two experimental immunotherapy drugs, AK112 and AK104, given together with or without standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can safely shrink tumors and control advanced non-small cell lung cancer. About 233 adults with stage IIIB/IV lung cancer who cannot have curative treatment are taking part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AK112 and AK104 (immunotherapy drugs), with or without chemotherapy (carboplatin, paclitaxel, pemetrexed, or docetaxel)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option that helps shrink tumors and control advanced lung cancer for longer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects from immunotherapy and chemotherapy can be serious.
