PCSK9 Inhibitor and PD-1 Inhibitor in Patients With Metastatic, Refractory To Prior Anti PD-1 Non-small Cell Lung (NCT05553834)
A Phase II Study of PCSK9 Inhibitor Alirocumab and PD-1 Inhibitor Cemiplimab in Patients With Metastatic, Refractory To Prior Anti PD-1 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: TOP2201
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
PCSK9 mediates immune checkpoint blockade resistance by downregulating tumor cell surface MHC class 1 molecules. This study will evaluate if combining the anti-PCSK9 antibody alirocumab with the anti-PD-1 antibody cemiplimab can generate anti-tumor activity and clinical responses in patients with metastatic lung cancer who have progressed on first line immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
