First seen Nov 03, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) to precise, high-dose radiation (SABR) helps keep early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back. About 140 people with stage I-IIA or recurrent lung cancer will be randomly assigned to get radiation alone or radiation plus immunotherapy. The goal is to see if the combination improves event-free survival compared to radiation alone.
