The goal is to see if this treatment can help when standard options have stopped working.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06634199Recruiting
Immune response after chemoradiation and immunotherapy for stage III lung cancer
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds in people with stage III lung cancer (not removable by surgery) who first get chemotherapy and radiation and then receive the immunotherapy drug durvalumab for one year. It aims to learn more about the immune response and why the treatment works better for some people.
Ferrol, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT06634056RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing lung inflammation during chemoradiation for stage III lung cancer
This trial tests whether two medicines, pentoxifylline and vitamin E, can help prevent a type of lung inflammation called pneumonitis in people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer who are getting chemoradiation and a checkpoint inhibitor. These medicines are already used for other conditions and may lower the risk of this side effect.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06627738RecruitingPhase 2
Extra radiation boost for advanced lung cancer after standard treatment
This trial tests whether adding a precise, high-dose radiation boost (CyberKnife) after standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. It is for those who have already completed two cycles of induction chemo and at least 40 Gy of radiation with chemo.
