Recruiting now · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: NSCLC Stage IV, NSCLC, Recurrent

In brief

The purpose of this study is to see if adding pirfenidone to atezolizumab will increase anti tumor activity and reduce treatment resistance in stage 4 and recurrent non- small cell lung cancer participants.
