About this trial

Chemotherapeutic agents exert significant immunomodulatory effects by influencing tumor-infiltrating immune cells. However, the sequence and combination of chemotherapy regimens differentially modulate immune cell dynamics, ultimately impacting treatment efficacy and patient survival. Glutathione, a critical bioactive molecule, demonstrates broad potential in tumor immunotherapy. Through mechanisms such as scavenging free radicals, modulating immune cell proliferation and differentiation, and regulating cytokine expression, glutathione achieves precise modulation of immune responses to enhance immune system functionality. To investigate whether glutathione can enhance the clinical efficacy of current chemo-immunotherapy regimens in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), investigators conducted this clinical study.
