NCT ID NCT06939595
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a new drug called CT-P51 works as well as the established immunotherapy Keytruda for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that has not been treated before. All participants also receive standard chemotherapy. The study compares how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear with each treatment combination.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CT-P51 (a biosimilar to Keytruda)
- What this could lead to
- If CT-P51 works as well as Keytruda, it could offer a more affordable treatment option for people with this type of lung cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early comparison study. CT-P51 may not be as effective or safe as Keytruda, and results may not apply to all lung cancer patients.
