NCT ID NCT04157985
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looked at 161 people with advanced solid tumors (like lung, bladder, skin, and kidney cancers) who had already been on immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) for one year and whose disease was stable. Half stopped treatment, and half continued. The goal was to see if stopping early affected how long until the cancer progressed or the next treatment was needed. The results help doctors understand the best length of immunotherapy.
