Summary

This trial will investigate the effects of a combination of drugs (immunotherapy, platinum doublet chemotherapy, and abequolixron) to treat non-small cell lung cancer before surgery.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with non-small cell lung cancer that can be surgically removed. They must weigh more than 40 kg, have a good performance status (able to carry out daily activities), and not be on other cancer treatments except those in the study.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well non-small cell lung cancer responds before surgery to durvalumab (immunotherapy) plus chemotherapy (carboplatin with abraxane or pemetrexed), and when combined with an experimental drug called abequolixron.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions, fatigue, nausea from chemotherapy, potential liver issues due to abequolixron, and risks associated with new drug combinations.
