Summary

This study tests a combination of one chemotherapy drug and the immunotherapy pembrolizumab for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have a lower performance status (ECOG PS 2), meaning they need to rest up to half the day. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and tolerable, and whether it can shrink tumors. About 28 participants will take part.
