Summary

This early-phase study tested a treatment that uses a light-activated drug (photodynamic therapy) plus immunotherapy to fight non-small cell lung cancer with pleural spread or malignant pleural mesothelioma. Only 5 people took part before the study ended early. The main goal was to check safety, and researchers also looked at how long patients lived without the cancer getting worse.
