Summary

This study looks at whether getting immunotherapy in the morning or afternoon changes how well it works for people with advanced lung cancer. About 350 patients will be randomly assigned to receive their treatment either before 11 AM or after 12 PM. The goal is to see if timing affects how long the cancer stays under control.
