This study looks at treating advanced lung cancer with two medicines: Interleukin-2 (IL-2), a protein that can help the immune system, and Pembrolizumab, a drug that helps the body fight cancer. In this study, patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be given both medicines to see if it helps their immune cells work better against cancer.
Key points to consider:
- This is an early phase 1 study, which means it is in the beginning stages of research.
- The treatment involves a combination of IL-2 and Pembrolizumab over several weeks with follow-up checks.
- Patients need to be 18 years or older and have not had previous treatments for their advanced lung cancer.
During the study, IL-2 will be given twice daily for three weeks, and Pembrolizumab will continue either every three or six weeks. After the initial treatment, there is a follow-up for 6 weeks. This study aims to see if this combination is safe and if it helps in treating lung cancer. Participants need to meet specific health criteria to join.
