First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing whether adding an extra immunotherapy drug (tremelimumab) and more chemotherapy to the standard treatment (durvalumab) can lower the amount of cancer DNA found in the blood of people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The study enrolls 48 participants who have already completed chemoradiation and are on durvalumab. The goal is to see if a personalized, more intense treatment can better control the disease.

Active substance

Durvalumab, tremelimumab, carboplatin, pemetrexed, paclitaxel

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more personalized treatment approach that better controls stage III lung cancer and reduces the risk of recurrence.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-phase trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Adding more drugs also increases the chance of side effects.
