Summary
This study tested whether adding the drug pirfenidone (already approved for a different lung condition) to standard chemotherapy is safe and effective for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. 48 participants received the combination. The main goals were to find the best dose and see if tumors shrank. This is an early-stage trial, so results are preliminary.
