NCT ID NCT03965468

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (durvalumab), chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel), and targeted radiation to metastatic spots, followed by surgery or radiation to the main lung tumor. The goal is to see if this aggressive approach can keep the cancer from growing for at least a year in people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to only a few other sites. The study enrolled 96 participants and is no longer recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Durvalumab (Imfinzi), Carboplatin, Paclitaxel

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination approach could improve control of advanced lung cancer that has spread to a few other sites, potentially extending life without progression.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with only 96 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. Side effects from chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation can be significant.
