Summary

This phase II trial tests whether adding local treatments like surgery or radiation to the immunotherapy drug durvalumab can help control stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has progressed after chemoradiation and durvalumab. About 51 participants with 3 or more growing tumors will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach can delay further cancer growth.

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could offer a way to control advanced lung cancer that has started to grow again after initial treatment.
