Immunotherapy + Chemotherapy

for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase III ALCHEMIST treatment trial tests the addition of pembrolizumab to usual chemotherapy for the treatment of stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, pemetrexed, carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with usual chemotherapy may help increase survival times in patients with stage IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.

High-Dose Radiation + Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy

for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This trial tests whether adding a precise form of radiation therapy to the usual treatment improves outcomes for patients with advanced lung cancer that can't be operated on. The goal is to see if this combination helps patients live longer and prevents cancer from worsening. This form of radiation therapy has shown promise in improving survival rates in patients with various stages of lung cancer.

Lutetium Lu 177 Dotatate

for Lung Carcinoid Tumor

This trial studies the effect of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate in patients with advanced bronchial neuroendocrine tumors. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate targets cancer cells with radiation, aiming to kill or shrink them while sparing healthy cells. The goal is to see if it works better than the usual treatment. Everolimus has been shown to help patients with various types of neuroendocrine tumors.
