Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This study is testing whether platinum-based chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors works better than chemotherapy alone for people whose advanced lung cancer has stopped responding to their first targeted treatment. The trial includes three groups based on the specific genetic mutations found in each person's cancer: EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 mutations. Researchers will track how well the treatment works and monitor for side effects.
Many people with these specific types of lung cancer eventually stop responding to their first targeted medication, and doctors need better options for what to do next. This trial is designed to see if adding the new immune-boosting medication to chemotherapy can help more patients when their cancer becomes resistant to initial therapy.

You will receive platinum-based chemotherapy, and you may also receive an immune-boosting medication depending on which treatment group you are assigned to. Throughout the study, you will have regular clinic visits for blood tests, imaging scans, and physical exams to monitor how your cancer is responding and check for side effects. Researchers will also collect tissue and blood samples to study how your immune system is responding to the treatment.
