Can a cancer drug stop lung cancer before it starts?

NCT ID NCT03634241

Summary

This study is testing whether the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab can prevent lung cancer in people at high risk. It includes people with suspicious lung nodules that haven't grown or shrunk, and people who've had early-stage lung cancer treated before. Participants receive the drug through an IV every three weeks for up to four cycles while researchers monitor if the nodules shrink and if lung cancer develops.
