About this study
Official title: A Randomised Phase III Trial of Adjuvant Cemiplimab in Patients With Resected Stage II-IIIA NSCLC Who Have Not Received Prior Adjuvant Chemotherapy
ARCH is a randomised, stratified, multicentre, phase III trial. Protocol treatment consists of cemiplimab, 350 mg i.v., every 3 weeks, for 4 cycles, followed by 700 mg i.v., every 6 weeks for 6 cycles or until relapse or unacceptable toxicities, whichever occurs first. The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of adjuvant cemiplimab, as measured by disease-free survival, in patients without prior adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, compared to observation without adjuvant treatment. The primary objective will be assessed in patients with tumours with centrally confirmed PD-L1 expression of ≥1%.

CemiplimabDrug
Cemiplimab, 350 mg i.v., every 3 weeks (±3 days), for 4 cycles, followed by 700 mg i.v., every 6 weeks (±1 week) for 6 cycles or until relapse or unacceptable toxicities, whichever occurs first.

| Control Arm: Observation | No intervention | Observation. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Disease-free survival (DFS)
Disease free survival (in patients with tumours with centrally confirmed PD-L1 expression of ≥1%).
Measured: From the date of randomisation until disease recurrence (including loco-regional recurrence, a distant (metastatic) recurrence or a second primary) or death from any cause. Assessed for approximately up to 59 months.
Secondary outcomes (2)
Overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from the date of randomisation until death from any cause. Censoring (for patients who are not reported as having died) will occur at the date last known to be alive. Patients without post-randomisation information will be censored at the date of randomisation (plus 1 day).
Measured: From the date of randomisation until death from any cause. Assessed for approximately up to 59 months.
Incidence, nature and severity of adverse events according to CTCAE v5.
All safety parameters will be summarised in tables to evaluate the toxicity/safety profile of the protocol treatment.
Measured: From the date the patient has signed the Informed Consent until the trial end. Assessed for approximately up to 59 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Cemiplimab in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by ETOP IBCSG Partners Foundation at 35 sites in 9 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 22 inclusion and 32 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 35 sites in Italy, Spain, Germany, Ireland, France and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Heidi Roschitzki, PhD (+41 31 511 94 00, heidi.roschitzki@etop.ibcsg.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Disease-free survival (DFS) (time frame: From the date of randomisation until disease recurrence (including loco-regional recurrence, a distant (metastatic) recurrence or a second primary) or death from any cause. Assessed for approximately up to 59 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Oct 2026.
