New lung cancer cocktail aims to shrink tumors before surgery
NCT ID NCT06465329
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a third drug to standard immunotherapy (cemiplimab) plus chemotherapy works better for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who can have surgery. About 120 adults will receive treatment before and after their operation. The main goal is to see if the extra drug helps eliminate more cancer cells in the removed tumor tissue.
