Summary

This trial is testing a combination of three drugs to treat non-small cell lung cancer. Researchers want to know if it is effective and safe.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are treatment-naive or have had prior immunotherapy can join this trial. They should have a measurable tumor, be in good physical condition (ECOG score 0-1), and expect to live at least another 3-6 months. Women must not be pregnant and participants must agree to use contraception.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of combining three drugs: Nivolumab, Ipilimumab, and Nintedanib for NSCLC treatment. It's structured in phases to first determine safe dosages (Phase I) then assess how well the drug combination works (Phase II).
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions that could affect organs, skin rashes, hormone gland problems like thyroid issues, liver inflammation, digestive tract symptoms such as diarrhea or colitis, fatigue, respiratory conditions like pneumonitis.
