Study Summary

This trial tests if a combo of drugs can help people with EGFR or LKB1/STK11-mutant NSCLC.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with advanced non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and specific mutations (EGFR or LKB1). They may have had up to three prior treatments but must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have severe diseases. Participants need functioning major organs and no recent surgeries. Men and women must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining two drugs: Sarilumab (Kevzara) and Cemiplimab for NSCLC patients with certain genetic mutations. It aims to control the disease by using these medications together in participants who meet specific genetic criteria.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions at injection sites, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression, possible organ inflammation, fatigue, digestive issues like diarrhea or constipation, liver problems indicated by blood tests changes.
