NCT ID NCT06656598

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether giving immunotherapy (Cemiplimab) along with chemotherapy (Carboplatin and Paclitaxel) before radiation can help elderly or unfit patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse. The trial will enroll 152 participants and compare this approach to standard care. The goal is to improve survival while keeping side effects manageable.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Cemiplimab (Libtayo), and hypofractionated radiotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective treatment option for elderly or unfit patients with stage III lung cancer, potentially improving survival without the need for more aggressive therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 152 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The combination of drugs and radiation may cause side effects like fatigue, low blood counts, or immune-related reactions.
