Immunotherapy boosts radiation against early lung cancer

NCT ID NCT03148327

First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SABR) improves outcomes for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who cannot have surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either SABR alone or SABR plus durvalumab. The trial aims to assess safety, tumor control, and survival.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
durvalumab (an immunotherapy drug) combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SABR)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could improve tumor control and extend survival for people with early-stage lung cancer who cannot undergo surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. Adding immunotherapy to radiation may increase side effects.
