Electric field therapy plus immunotherapy tested for tough lung cancers
NCT ID NCT06558799
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a wearable device that sends low-intensity electric fields to tumors, combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab, in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that had already been treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The goal was to see if this combination could help patients live longer. The study was stopped early, and only 31 people took part.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: * ≥18 years of age * Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC. * Documented positive tumor PD-L1 expression (TPS≥1%). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Score of 0-1. * Diagnosis of radiological progression while on or after first platinum-based systemic therapy administered for advanced or metastatic disease. * Subjects must have received one line of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy for advanced or metastatic NSCLC. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor may have been given alone or in combination with other therapy. * Subjects who received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for advanced disease, must have had a best response on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor of stable disease (SD), partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). * Subjects must have experienced disease progression more than 84 days following Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1) of their most recent PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. EXCLUSION CRITERIA - All individuals meeting any of the following exclusion criteria will be excluded from study participation: * Mixed small cell and NSCLC histology. * Subject must not have leptomeningeal disease or spinal cord compression. * Subject must not have untreated, symptomatic brain metastases, or residual neurological dysfunction. * Subjects must not have received more than one line of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for advanced disease. * Subjects with a known sensitizing mutation for which the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved targeted therapy for NSCLC exists (e.g., EGFR, ALK, ROS1) are excluded unless previously received at least one of the approved therapy(ies). * Subjects with more than 2 lines of therapy in the advanced setting. * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Implantable electronic medical devices (e.g. pacemaker, defibrillator) in the upper torso. * Known allergies to medical adhesives or hydrogel.
