Lung cancer combo therapy aims to shrink tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT06088771

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether combining two drugs—dupilumab and cemiplimab—given before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Participants receive one dose of each drug, then undergo standard surgery about two weeks later. Researchers monitor safety and how much the tumor shrinks, with follow-up for up to five years.
