First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tested the safety and best dose of adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with stage II to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. The study involved 23 participants and aimed to find the highest dose that doesn't cause severe side effects. While the approach may help control the disease, it is not a cure, and ongoing management is still needed.
