First seen Jan 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests whether a reduced dose of chemotherapy combined with the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab works better than cemiplimab alone for people aged 70 and older with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Participants must be in relatively poor health or frail, and their tumors must have low levels of a protein called PD-L1. The goal is to find a treatment that controls the cancer while being easier to tolerate.
