Study Summary
This trial is testing whether adding immunotherapy to standard local consolidation therapy can improve outcomes for patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible participants must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and no prior immunotherapy for metastatic NSCLC. Women of childbearing potential must test negative for pregnancy and use contraception, as should men if their partners are of childbearing potential. Patients with treated brain metastases may qualify if stable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) with or without local consolidation therapy (surgery or radiation) in treating advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see if adding local treatments to immunotherapy improves outcomes compared to immunotherapy alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, fatigue, skin issues, hormone gland problems like thyroid disorders, infusion reactions during drug administration, and possible increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B (ipilimumab, nivolumab, LCT)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
INDUCTION PHASE: Patients receive nivolumab IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29, and ipilimumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients receive LCT consisting of surgery and/or radiation 14 days after completion of Induction Phase. Patients then receive nivolumab and ipilimumab as in arm A beginning within 4 weeks after LCT. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm A (ipilimumab, nivolumab)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
INDUCTION PHASE: Patients receive nivolumab IV over 90 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29, and ipilimumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients receive nivolumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29 and ipilimumab IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 6 weeks for 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
