First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-stage study tested a combination of an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) and precise, high-dose radiation (SBRT) in 20 people with stage I non-small cell lung cancer who could not have surgery. The main goal was to find the safest dose of atezolizumab when given with radiation and to see how well the combination worked at shrinking tumors. The approach aims to boost the immune system's ability to fight cancer while using radiation to directly kill tumor cells.
