Study Summary

This trial will test a combination of therapies for stage IB-III non-small cell lung cancer. If successful, it could become a new standard of care for this disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with operable stage IB-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who can undergo surgery. They must have good organ function, be able to tolerate lung resection, and not be pregnant or nursing. Participants need an ECOG Performance Status of 0-1, indicating they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of pre-operative treatments: ipilimumab + nivolumab immunotherapies with low-dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). It aims to see how well the cancer responds before surgery. The main goal is to measure the pathologic response after treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions such as inflammation in various organs, skin rash, endocrine disorders like thyroid dysfunction, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea or colitis, and potential complications from radiation therapy.
