New combo aims to stall advanced lung cancer

NCT ID NCT05798663

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drugs atezolizumab (with or without tiragolumab) to standard chemoradiotherapy can help people with stage III lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. About 178 participants will receive the drugs before, during, and after radiation and chemotherapy. The main goal is to see if the combination delays cancer progression or improves survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Atezolizumab (Tecentriq) and tiragolumab, given with chemotherapy and radiation

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a more effective treatment regimen for advanced lung cancer that delays disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 178 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Adding immunotherapy also carries risks of immune-related side effects.
