Who may be able to join
- People diagnosed with stage II to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), confirmed by laboratory testing, with brain imaging completed either before or after surgery (or at the screening stage if not yet done).
- People who have had their lung tumour fully removed by surgery, with no cancer cells found at the edges of the removed tissue (called a "clear margin").
- People whose surgery involved removal of a lobe, sleeve, two lobes, or the entire lung; or, for small tumours (2 cm or smaller), removal of a lung segment if a larger operation was not safe.
- People whose tumour tissue shows a PD-L1 protein level of 1% or higher, measured by an approved local laboratory test.
- People who have stored tumour tissue (called FFPE tissue) available for an additional central laboratory PD-L1 test.
- People who are not receiving standard post-surgery platinum-based chemotherapy — either because they have chosen not to have it, or because a doctor has assessed them as medically unsuitable for it (for example, due to having a lower physical performance level, being aged 70 or older with significant other health conditions, or having other reasons that make this chemotherapy unsafe).
- People with a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- People aged 18 years or older.
- People who have recovered from any complications related to their lung surgery.
- People with adequate blood, kidney, and liver function as measured by laboratory tests.
- People who, in the doctor's assessment, are able to follow the trial procedures and requirements.
- Women who could become pregnant must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 5 weeks before joining the trial, repeated within 3 days before the first treatment dose and at every treatment visit.
- Women who could become pregnant and men whose partners could become pregnant must agree to use a highly effective form of contraception throughout treatment and for 4 months after the last dose of the trial drug (cemiplimab).
- People who have signed and dated a written consent form before any trial-related procedures begin.
Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.
- People whose NSCLC has a specific gene change known as an EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement.
- People whose lung cancer contains any small cell cancer component.
- People who have already received chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or other systemic treatments before or after surgery for their NSCLC.
- People currently taking part in another interventional clinical trial for NSCLC.
- People who have another cancer (other than NSCLC) that is still active or currently being treated — although certain exceptions may apply, such as non-melanoma skin cancer that has been treated, cervical cancer in situ, or other cancers considered to be definitively treated (confirm with trial site).
- People who need ongoing daily use of steroid medicines (above a certain dose) within 1 week before joining the trial, unless the steroids are for a routine hormone replacement purpose rather than to suppress the immune system. Inhaled or topical steroids are generally permitted if not used for an autoimmune condition.
- People with a significant autoimmune disease that has been treated with immune-suppressing medicines within the past 5 years — though certain mild conditions (such as vitiligo, thyroid conditions managed with hormone replacement, or type 1 diabetes) are generally not excluded.
- People who have had brain inflammation (encephalitis or meningitis), an organic brain disease such as Parkinson's disease, or uncontrolled seizures within the past year.
- People who have had a heart attack within the past 6 months.
- People with a known history of, or current, interstitial lung disease or non-infectious lung inflammation within the past 5 years.
- People with uncontrolled HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C infection, or a known immune deficiency condition — though people with well-controlled versions of these infections (meeting specific laboratory criteria) may be eligible (confirm with trial site).
- People who have had an infection serious enough to require hospital admission or intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks before joining the trial.
- People who have received a live vaccine within 28 days before joining the trial.
- People who have received a COVID-19 vaccine within 1 week before joining the trial.
- People who have previously had an organ transplant or allogeneic stem cell transplant at any time, or an autologous stem cell transplant within the past 12 weeks.
- People with a known or suspected allergic reaction to the trial drug cemiplimab or any of its ingredients.
- Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or currently breastfeeding.
- Sexually active people who could become pregnant (or whose partner could become pregnant) and who are not willing to use effective contraception during the trial.
- People who are themselves a member of the clinical study team, or who have an immediate family member on the study team, unless the trial sponsor has given prior approval.
- People the investigator believes are unlikely to follow the trial's procedures and requirements.
