NCT ID NCT03003468
First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and Imprime PGG (a yeast-based immune booster)—in 35 adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that had worsened after initial therapy. The goal was to see if the combo could shrink tumors or slow cancer growth. While not a cure, the approach aims to help control the disease and improve outcomes for patients with limited options.
