First seen Jun 17, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding two drugs (benmelstobart and anlotinib) to standard chemotherapy before chemoradiation helps people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. 152 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the new induction therapy followed by chemoradiation and maintenance immunotherapy, or chemoradiation followed by maintenance immunotherapy alone. The study will track how long the cancer stays under control and look for side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Benmelstobart (an immunotherapy drug) and anlotinib (a targeted therapy drug), plus chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could improve how long people with advanced lung cancer live without their disease getting worse, and may point to a more effective treatment plan.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 152 people, so results are not definitive. Adding more drugs before radiation may increase side effects without clear benefit.
