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.

Osimertinib
for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well osimertinib works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation that is stage IIIB-IV or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Osimertinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
