Phase 3RecruitingAstraZenecaNCT06692738Data as of Sep 2026Location: International · 26 countries

Treatment: Rilvegostomig · Pembrolizumab · Carboplatin · Paclitaxel · Nab-paclitaxelThe purpose of ARTEMIDE-Lung02 is to assess the efficacy and safety of rilvegostomig in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for the first-line (1L) treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) whose tumors express programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1).
