The study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of perioperative treatment with Durvalumab in combination with Oleclumab, Monalizumab or AZD0171 and platinum doublet chemotherapy; or MEDI5752 in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy or datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) in combination with durvalumab and single agent platinum chemotherapy in participants with resectable, early-stage NSCLC.
• December 2023: Gilead Sciences announced a study of Phase 3 clinical trials for Zimberelimab, Domvanalimab, Pembrolizumab, Carboplatin, and Cisplatin. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effect of zimberelimab (ZIM) and domvanalimab (DOM) in combination with chemotherapy relative to pembrolizumab (PEMBRO) in combination with chemotherapy on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with untreated metastatic NSCLC with no actionable genomic alteration.

NSCLC Overview

NSCLC (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancer cases globally. NSCLC typically grows and spreads more slowly than small cell lung cancer, offering a broader window for treatment interventions. NSCLC symptoms often include persistent coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, and unexplained weight loss. NSCLC diagnosis usually involves imaging tests such as CT scans, biopsies, and molecular profiling to determine genetic mutations. NSCLC staging ranges from localized Stage I to advanced metastatic Stage IV, significantly impacting treatment decisions.

NSCLC treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and emerging immunotherapies. NSCLC targeted therapies focus on specific mutations like EGFR, ALK, and ROS1, offering personalized treatment approaches. NSCLC immunotherapy has transformed patient outcomes by harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. NSCLC clinical trials continue to explore innovative drugs and combination therapies to improve survival rates.

NSCLC prognosis varies based on stage, patient health, and genetic factors, with early detection being crucial for better outcomes. NSCLC research and development are rapidly evolving, bringing hope for more effective therapies. As awareness and advanced treatments grow, the NSCLC landscape continues to change, improving patient care worldwide.
