Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05486650Recruiting
Study of focused radiation after PD-1 treatment helped non-lung cancer
This observational study looks at how stereotactic (high-precision) radiation works for advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is stable after PD-1 antibody treatment (sometimes with chemotherapy). It may help doctors better understand which patients benefit from this next treatment step and what side effects to expect.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cancer (advanced stage)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,034 recruiting cancer (advanced stage) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cancer (advanced stage) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cancer (advanced stage) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
