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

Active substance

JS004 (anti-BTLA antibody) combined with toripalimab and standard chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for advanced lung cancer patients who have limited choices.
