Summary

This trial will study the effects of a cancer treatment combining chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and electric fields on lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with early-stage resectable NSCLC who can undergo surgery, tolerate general anesthesia, and have not had cancer treatment in the past 2 years. They must be able to follow the study plan and have a good performance status (ECOG 0-1). Those with recurrent NSCLC, previous lung cancer treatments, or enrolled in conflicting trials cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests Aliya PEF ablation followed by standard neoadjuvant therapy including Nivolumab plus Platinum Doublet Chemotherapy before surgical removal of the lung tumor. It's an open-label and non-randomized trial focusing on patients who may benefit from this combined approach.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those related to PEF ablation like skin irritation or discomfort at the site of treatment, as well as typical chemotherapy effects such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and increased risk of infection. Surgical risks involve complications from anesthesia or postoperative recovery.
