Immunotherapy for advanced or limited-spread lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether starting immunotherapy can help people with newly diagnosed advanced or limited-spread non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be fully cured with standard local treatments. It may offer a new treatment approach when surgery or definitive chemoradiation isn’t a good option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) confirmed by a biopsy or fluid test
- Your cancer stage is III to IVA, or it has only a limited number of spread sites (oligometastatic) based on full scans
- Your overall health allows you to do daily activities with little help (ECOG 0 to 2)
- Your doctor expects you may live at least about 3 more months
- You can sign a consent form and understand the trial steps

This trial tests a new approach for people with certain advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to lymph nodes in the chest but might still be removed. It combines a short course of high-precision radiation, immunotherapy (sintilimab), and standard chemotherapy before surgery to see if it can improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new approach for people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. You would receive immunotherapy (to help your immune system fight cancer) plus chemotherapy first, then standard chemo-radiation, and finally more immunotherapy. The goal is to see if this sequence works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests combining immunotherapy with a shorter course of chemoradiation for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't spread. It aims to see if this approach is more effective and tolerable than standard treatment.
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy before and after standard chemoradiation for patients with stage III lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to chemoradiation alone.
This trial tests whether using a blood test to guide treatment can improve outcomes for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who are starting immunotherapy for the first time. Participants will receive standard immunotherapy tailored to their individual risk profile.
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy before and after surgery can help people with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. It is for patients whose cancer has not spread widely and can be completely removed by surgery.
