Study of CTDNA Response Adaptive Immuno-Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer
A Biomarker-Directed, Multi-Centre Phase II/III Study of CTDNA Response Adaptive Immuno-Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer
Canadian Cancer Trials Group
230 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The standard or usual treatment for this disease is pembrolizumab given by needle into the veins (IV). Some cancers shed DNA (circulating tumour DNA or ctDNA) or genes (biomarkers) into the blood, and levels of these biomarkers may be able to tell researchers how people respond to treatment with pembrolizumab before they feel worse, or the cancer is worse on imaging tests. Researchers are studying how levels of these biomarkers can show how cancers are responding to treatment and whether adding chemotherapy to pembrolizumab based on detection of ctDNA can offer better results.
