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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding an experimental drug (IBI363) or the approved drug Keytruda to standard chemotherapy can better shrink tumors before surgery in people with stage IB to III non-squamous lung cancer. About 170 participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. The main goals are to see how many patients have no cancer left after treatment and to check for side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

IBI363 (an experimental immunotherapy) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda, an approved immunotherapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better way to shrink lung tumors before surgery, potentially improving long-term outcomes.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with only 170 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from immunotherapy and chemotherapy can be serious.
