Durvalumab, Tremelimumab, and Selumetinib in Treating Participants With Recurrent or Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-07-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose of selumetinib and how well it works with durvalumab and tremelimumab in treating participants with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer or that has come back. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Selumetinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving durvalumab, tremelimumab and selumetinib may work better in treating participants with non-small lung cancer.
