Radiation and Immunotherapy for Advanced Lung Cancer
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of radiation and immunotherapy to see if it can make the immune system attack cancer throughout the body in people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to many places. It's for those whose cancer does not have certain genetic changes and who have not had uncontrolled brain metastases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have non-small cell lung cancer, confirmed by a biopsy.
- You have more than 3 areas where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
- No brain metastases, or any brain metastases must be stable and not growing.
- Your cancer does not have certain genetic changes (EGFR, ALK, ROS, BRAF, MET, RET).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old and in fairly good health (able to do daily activities).
- You are willing and able to have a special scan (PET-CT) and to sign a consent form.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial explores whether combining radiation therapy with immunotherapy can trigger an immune response that shrinks tumors throughout the body (abscopal effect) in people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to 3 to 6 other sites. It tests different patterns of these treatments to see which works best.
This trial studies whether a more intensive form of targeted radiation, combined with immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors), can work better and be safe for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. You may be considered if your tumor is limited in size and you’re able to receive both treatments.
This trial is testing a combination of immunotherapy and targeted radiation for people with advanced lung cancer that has no targetable gene changes. The goal is to see if adjusting radiation based on how well the tumor responds can improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding two newer drugs (benmelstobart and anlotinib) to chemotherapy before radiation works better than radiation alone for stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to improve survival and control the cancer.
This trial tests a combination of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and two newer cancer-fighting drugs (tislelizumab and surufatinib) for patients with Stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests a combination of a personalized cancer vaccine, an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor), and radiation therapy for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has gotten worse after at least two prior treatments. The goal is to see if this approach can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
