Summary

This trial is testing a new way to treat lung cancer that may be more effective and have fewer side effects than the current standard of care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with early-stage IB-IIIA operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have good lung function and can handle surgery. They should be relatively healthy, which means having an ECOG Performance Status of 0-1. Those with advanced inoperable or metastatic disease, autoimmune diseases, or previous treatments targeting T cell pathways cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of adding Nivolumab to chemotherapy before surgery compared to just chemotherapy alone. It also examines how safe and effective it is to combine Nivolumab with Ipilimumab versus the standard treatment for resectable NSCLC.
What are the potential side effects?
Nivolumab and Ipilimumab may cause immune-related side effects like inflammation in various organs, skin rash, hormone gland problems (like thyroid), fatigue, nausea, breathing difficulties, and potential infusion reactions during administration.
