What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are NovoTTF-200T, Pembrolizumab, or Platinum based chemotherapy. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This study, known as LUNAR-2, aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of using TTFields, delivered by the NovoTTF-200T device, concomitantly administered with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
They plan to enroll about 734 people at 107 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill), using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
