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.

- Active substance
- a combination of dupilumab (Dupixent) and cemiplimab (Libtayo)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could shrink tumors before surgery, potentially improving outcomes for people with early-stage lung cancer.
