NCT ID NCT06731413
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a lower dose of chemotherapy combined with an immunotherapy drug can be a safer and still effective first treatment for older adults (70+) or those who are frail with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The main goal is to see if fewer people have to stop chemo due to side effects. About 40 participants will receive this reduced-dose combination, and doctors will track how well the cancer responds.
