First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing whether adding the experimental drug ivonescimab to standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) helps people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer live longer. The study includes 536 adults whose cancer worsened after prior immunotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either ivonescimab or a placebo, both combined with docetaxel. The main goal is to see if the combination improves overall survival.
