INTERVENTIONAL
Summary
This study, known as LUNAR-2, aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of using TTFields, delivered by the NovoTTF-200T device, concomitantly administered with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The primary goals of the study are to assess overall survival and progression-free survival. Secondary objectives include analyzing outcomes based on the specific histology (subtype) of the lung cancer.

Interventions
The NovoTTF-200T is a portable, battery operated system intended for continuous home use, which delivers TTFields at a frequency of 150kHz to the subject by means of insulated transducer arrays. TTFields physically disrupt the rapid cell division exhibited by cancer cells. The physical disruption induced by TTFields can lead to to downstream immunogenic cell death.
Pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.
Platinum-based chemotherapy is a standard chemotherapy regimen commonly used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer
