New drug combo tested to keep advanced lung cancer at bay

NCT ID NCT03285321

Summary

This study tested whether adding immunotherapy drugs after standard chemoradiation could better control advanced lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. Researchers compared two approaches: one drug alone versus two drugs combined, given to 105 patients whose cancer hadn't progressed after initial treatment. The goal was to see which approach kept the cancer from worsening for longer.
