Summary

This study tested whether the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can help people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to only a few spots (oligometastatic). All 51 participants had already completed their initial treatment and then received pembrolizumab every 3 weeks for up to 16 cycles. The goal was to see how long they lived without the cancer getting worse.
