Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Histologic diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer
  • Written consent obtained before initiation of any study-related procedures
  • Definitive cancer treatment intent
  • Absence of concurrent malignancies at other sites, except low risk prostate cancer and basal cell of the skin. Participants with prior cancers should not be receiving active cancer treatment within the past 3 months. Cancer survivors who have undergone potentially curative therapy for a prior malignancy who have no evidence of that disease for 1 year and who are deemed at low risk for recurrence are eligible for the study.
  • Adequate liver (AST, ALT, Alk Phos, and Tbili \<2 fold upper limit) and kidney function (Cr \< 2.5 limit of normal and Cr clearance \>30)

Exclusion criteria

  • Subjects are to be excluded from the study if any of the following conditions apply:
  • HIV infection, cellular immune deficiencies, hypogammaglobulinemia or dysgammaglobulinemia, or hereditary or congenital immunodeficiencies
  • Prior diagnosis of hepatitis B or C (unless anti-hepatitis C therapy has produced a sustained virologic response);
  • History of clinically significant autoimmune disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or inflammatory disease.
  • Serious concomitant disorder, including active systemic infection requiring treatment, as judged by the Investigator.
  • Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational product
  • Recurrent radiation to the treatment site
  • Prior major surgery within 4 weeks of enrollment from which the patient has not recovered
  • Other condition or prior therapy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, compromises the subject's welfare or may confound study results
  • Previous enrollment in this study
  • Pregnancy: a female subject defined as a WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test (e.g. within 72 hours) prior to treatment. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
  • Prior exposure to any anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody.
  • Patients must be capable of understanding and providing a written informed consent.
  • Patients with leukemias or lymphomas with T cell/histiocyte or NK cell rich component(s) and other variants not otherwise specified that contain high numbers of T or NK cells.
  • Evidence of clinically significant interstitial lung disease or active noninfectious pneumonitis during the course of chemoradiation that is unresolved to ≤ grade 1.
  • Patients with grade 4 toxicities during chemoradiation not resolved to grade ≤ 1 by the end of chemoradiation.
  • Prior exposure to IL-2 or IL-5.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
