Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug durvalumab can help people with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't grown after chemoradiation. About 400 participants receive either durvalumab or a placebo every 4 weeks. The goal is to see if durvalumab delays cancer progression and improves survival.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new standard treatment to help keep stage III lung cancer from growing after initial chemoradiation.
