Study on Ivonescimab, Chemotherapy, and Stereotactic Radiosurgery for People with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Sponsor score: 60

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07535463

This clinical trial is testing the safety of a new drug, ivonescimab, combined with standard chemotherapy and targeted brain radiation in people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. The study aims to find the best dose with minimal side effects and evaluate its effectiveness in treating brain metastases.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine if the new drug ivonescimab, when used with standard chemotherapy and targeted brain radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery), is safe for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain. Researchers will test different doses to find the one that causes the fewest side effects. Once the best dose is identified, it will be tested in a new group of participants to see if it effectively treats brain metastases from NSCLC.
