Real-world data: nivolumab combo before lung cancer surgery shows promise in argentina
NCT ID NCT07141563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study from Argentina looked at 70 patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer who received nivolumab (Opdivo) plus chemotherapy before surgery. Researchers wanted to see how well this combination works in real-world practice, measuring how many patients had no cancer left after surgery. The study is observational, meaning it only reviewed past medical records, so it cannot prove the treatment caused the outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- nivolumab (Opdivo) plus platinum-based chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If results are positive, this could support using this combination before surgery for lung cancer in real-world settings.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study (just 70 people) that looks back at past data, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other populations.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants aged 18 years or older * Participants diagnosed with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (stage IIA-IIIB TNM AJCC 8ed) according to the treating team's judgment * Participants who received nivolumab and chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy between 1st July 2022 and 1st March 2025 * Participants must have given informed consent for their data to be used for research or academic studies, or a waiver of consent has been obtained Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with confirmed positive EGFR gene mutation or ALK fusion gene, as the study focuses on the effectiveness of nivolumab in patients without these driver mutations * Prior malignancy active within the previous 3 years except for locally curable cancers that have been apparently cured, such as basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the prostate, cervix, or breast * Participants who received any antineoplastic therapy within 3 months prior to initiating neoadjuvant nivolumab and chemotherapy, to avoid confounding effects from prior treatments * Participants who participated in a clinical trial for NSCLC, to ensure the study reflects real-world clinical practice * Participants with complications of treatment-related adverse events related to hematotoxicity of antineoplastic agents 3 months prior to the start of neoadjuvant therapy, to minimize risks and confounding factors * Participants who started neoadjuvant therapy outside the participating medical institution and were transferred to the institution for surgery, to ensure data consistency and reliability
