Study Summary

This trial studies the side effects of pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has come back (recurrent) and has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy may shrink the tumor in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Primary Outcome

Assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events version 5.0. The proportion of patients experience grade 3 or worse adverse events (AEs) will be summarized by frequency and percentage along with a 95% confidence interval (CI) separately by type of therapy (monotherapy or combination therapy) as well as combining the two cohorts. All other individual AEs will be analyzed in an exploratory and hypothesis generating manner; including and not limited to multi-vari
