First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a cholesterol-lowering drug (alirocumab) to standard chemotherapy and immunotherapy (cemiplimab) before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (stages 1B-3A). About 126 participants will receive either the standard treatment or the standard plus alirocumab. The main goal is to see if the combination leads to no cancer cells remaining in the removed tumor tissue.
