Study on Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy and Atezolizumab for Certain Stages of Resected Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and Monitoring Circulating Tumor DNA
Sponsor: Nasser Hanna
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04367311
This clinical trial is exploring whether combining cisplatin-based chemotherapy with the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab can help prevent cancer recurrence in patients with certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery. The study will also monitor circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to assess the risk of cancer returning.

Program Overview
This study aims to find out if using a combination of cisplatin-based chemotherapy and the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab can help reduce the chances of cancer coming back in patients with specific stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery. Researchers will also track circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levels, as its presence after surgery is linked to a higher risk of cancer recurrence. The study focuses on patients with stage I (tumors 4cm or larger), IIA, IIB, and select stage III NSCLC who have detectable ctDNA after surgery.
