New hope for frail lung cancer patients: maintenance drug aims to keep disease in check

NCT ID NCT05617963

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a drug called durvalumab can help frail patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer keep their disease from getting worse after standard chemotherapy and radiation. About 100 participants who are older, have a weaker health status, or couldn't get full treatment will receive durvalumab every 4 weeks. The goal is to see if this maintenance therapy extends the time before the cancer progresses.
