NCT ID NCT05493566

First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This early study tests whether adding low-dose IL-2 to the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can better activate the immune system against stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. About 15 people with untreated advanced lung cancer will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach improves T cell function and shrinks tumors, but it is not a cure and ongoing treatment may be needed.
