Can a biologic drug stop lung nodules from becoming cancer?

NCT ID NCT07284485

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a biologic drug called nadunolimab in current or former smokers who have high-risk lung nodules that are not yet ready for surgery. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink these nodules by at least 20% within 3 months, potentially preventing lung cancer. About 59 participants will receive four doses of the drug intravenously over 12 weeks and be followed for up to 5 years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Nadunolimab (a biologic drug given intravenously)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a way to prevent lung cancer in high-risk smokers by shrinking suspicious lung nodules.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 59 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink nodules.
