ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating whether combining a treatment called cryoablation with two other medications, pembrolizumab and pemetrexed-carboplatin, can help patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma live longer. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive cryoablation along with the medications, while the other group will only receive the medications. Cryoablation is a procedure that freezes cancer cells to help shrink tumors. The trial aims to see if this combination leads to better survival rates after one year compared to the standard treatment.

To be eligible for this study, patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma that has spread to other parts of the body, and they should be at least 18 years old. Participants need to have two measurable tumors, one of which can be treated with cryoablation. This study is currently recruiting participants, and those who join can expect to follow a specific treatment plan and attend regular check-ups. It’s important to note that patients with certain other health conditions or who have had specific treatments in the past may not be eligible.

• • 11. Voluntarily signed and dated written informed consents prior to any study specific procedure.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Squamous cell tumors and other than adenocarcinoma.
• • 2. Prior systemic treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (except adjuvant therapy after complete resection).
• • 3. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication including any use of oral glucocorticoids, within 21 days before the first dose of pembrolizumab.
• • 4. Known contra-indication and/or hypersensitivity to PD1/PD-L1 antagonist and/or cytotoxic therapy.
• • 5. Known contra-indication to cryoablation.
• • 6. Abnormal coagulation contraindicating biopsy.

• • 8. Active, uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy.
• • 9. Subjects who participated in an investigational drug or device study within 28 days prior to study entry.
• • 10. Known infection with HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
• • 11. Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
• • 12. Men or women refusing contraception.
• • 13. Concomitant disease or condition that could interfere with the conduct of the study, or that would, in the opinion of the investigator, pose an unacceptable risk to the subject in this study.
• • 14. Previous enrolment in the present study.
