Summary

This study is looking at whether regularly checking the amount of pembrolizumab in the blood of people with non-small cell lung cancer can help doctors tailor treatment. The goal is to see if this monitoring can improve how well the drug works and reduce side effects. The trial will enroll 75 adults already receiving pembrolizumab as part of their standard care.
