About this trial
This study aims to compare the one-year survival benefit of the association of cryoablation-pembrolizumab-pemetrexed-carboplatin versus pembrolizumab-pemetrexed-carboplatin in metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients.
This is a multicenter, prospective, open-labeled, 2-arm comparative randomized (1:1) phase III trial.
Patients will be randomized with a 1:1 ratio into:
* Arm A (experimental arm): cryoablation of one visceral lesion or bone metastasis excluding liver and sclerotic bone metastases combined with pembrolizumab and pemetrexed-carboplatin prescribed as per market authorization. * Arm B (standard arm): pembrolizumab and pemetrexed-carboplatin prescribed as per market authorization.
Pembrolizumab and pemetrexed-carboplatin will be prescribed and administered at the dose recommended by market authorization.
Cryoablation treatment should be performed within 6 weeks after the first administration of pembrolizumab. No treatment switching permitted.
