Study Comparing Niraparib and Pembrolizumab with Placebo and Pembrolizumab for Maintenance Therapy in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Sponsor: GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04475939
This clinical trial is testing whether adding the drug niraparib to pembrolizumab can help maintain the health of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) better than using pembrolizumab with a placebo. The study focuses on patients whose cancer has stabilized or improved after initial chemotherapy.

Program Overview
The study aims to find out if combining niraparib with pembrolizumab is more effective than using pembrolizumab with a placebo in maintaining the health of patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Participants must have shown stable disease, partial response, or complete response after completing initial chemotherapy with pembrolizumab. The main goals are to see if this combination can help patients live longer without the cancer getting worse and improve overall survival.
