Real-World data reveals how lung cancer patients fare on Triple-Drug combo
NCT ID NCT05599685
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 302 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer in Greece who were treated with a combination of nivolumab, ipilimumab, and chemotherapy as their first therapy. Researchers tracked patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival rates over time. The goal was to see how this treatment performs in real-world settings, outside of strict clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nivolumab, ipilimumab, and platinum-based chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand how well this drug combination works outside of clinical trials, potentially improving treatment guidelines for metastatic lung cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient differences and real-world variability. It does not test a new treatment or prove effectiveness.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC (of any histological subtype) whose tumors have no sensitizing EGFR mutation or ALK translocation. * Participants who have been initiated on 1L treatment with NIVO/IPI/PBC (nivolumab combined with ipilimumab and 2 cycles of PBC) as per the products' Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) prior to informed consent obtainment, and for whom the treatment regimen is ongoing and no more than one nivolumab infusion has been administered from treatment initiation to obtaining the signed informed consent. * Participants for whom the decision to prescribe treatment with NIVO/IPI/PBC has been taken prior to their enrollment in the study and is clearly separated from the physician's decision to include the participant in the current study. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with a current primary diagnosis of a cancer other than NSCLC that requires systemic or other treatment. * Participants who have been treated with any prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting of NSCLC. * Participants who are currently receiving or are planned to receive treatment with any investigational drug/device/intervention or who have received any investigational product within 1 month or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent (whichever is longer) prior to NIVO/IPI/PBC therapy initiation.
