Treating growing lung spots with local therapy
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if focusing treatment on a few new or growing lung tumors can help people with lung cancer who are already on systemic therapy. You may qualify if you have stable disease overall but a small number of new spots that can be safely treated with radiation or other local procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have non-small cell or small cell lung cancer that has spread and you are on a systemic therapy (like chemotherapy or immunotherapy) that is working well except for up to 5 new or growing spots.
- You and your doctor agree to continue your current systemic therapy for at least 30 more days while the local treatment is done.
- Your doctor says the new spots can be safely treated with local therapies like radiation or ablation.
- You do not have growing spots in your brain.

This trial explores whether treating only the new or growing spots of cancer (called oligoprogression) with local therapies like radiation or ablation can help you stay on your current systemic treatment longer. It is for people with prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer that has started to progress in a few places.
This trial tests whether using local treatments (like targeted radiation or ablation) on a few new spots of cancer can help people whose cancer is otherwise stable on their current treatment. It enrolls people with various solid tumors, such as breast, gynecologic, head & neck, sarcoma, or other types.
This trial tests a cancer treatment that uses local therapies (like radiation or targeted heat) to destroy a small number of growing spots. It is for people with certain gastrointestinal cancers whose main treatment is working well except for a few new spots, so they can avoid switching to a different drug right away.
This trial tests whether giving high-precision radiation to a few spots that are growing during immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) can help people with advanced lung cancer. It aims to see if treating these limited areas of resistance can extend the time the cancer stays under control.
This trial tests whether continuing your current therapy after getting local treatment (like surgery or radiation) for a small area of cancer growth is safe and effective. It may help you keep the same treatment longer before switching to a new one.
This study is for people with solid tumors that have spread to a few spots (5 or fewer) in the body. It tests whether using a focused treatment like radiation or ablation on those spots can help control the cancer long-term.
