NCT ID NCT06219317

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether continuing the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab for up to a year after initial treatment can delay cancer growth in people with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to only a few places (oligometastatic). About 136 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cemiplimab or a placebo. The study aims to see if the drug improves progression-free survival compared to placebo.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Cemiplimab (an immunotherapy drug)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that continuing immunotherapy after initial treatment helps keep advanced lung cancer from growing for longer.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with only 136 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Immunotherapy can cause immune-related side effects like inflammation in organs.
