NCT ID NCT03786653

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether immunotherapy for bronchial (lung) cancer can be given at home instead of in a hospital. Ten patients who were already stable on treatment received their infusions at home. Researchers tracked how many had to stop home care for medical reasons, monitored side effects, and measured quality of life and satisfaction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that home-based immunotherapy is a safe and convenient option for some lung cancer patients, potentially reducing hospital visits.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early observational study with only 10 participants. It does not test if the treatment works, only if giving it at home is practical. Results may not apply to all patients.
