First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with large, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. About 50 participants will receive two cycles of toripalimab plus chemo, followed by chemoradiation and then up to a year of toripalimab. The main goal is to see how long the cancer stays under control.

Active substance

Toripalimab (an immunotherapy drug) plus chemotherapy and radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could improve how long people with bulky lung cancer live without their disease getting worse.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (50 people) with no control group, so results may not be definitive. Immunotherapy can cause serious immune-related side effects.
