Pulse radiation may supercharge immunotherapy against cancer

NCT ID NCT07381231

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding a special type of radiation called adaptive pulse radiotherapy to standard immunotherapy can help treat advanced solid tumors. The study will enroll 35 people who are already receiving or planning to receive immune checkpoint inhibitors. Participants will get 2-3 high-dose radiation sessions alongside their regular immunotherapy, with the radiation target adjusted based on tumor response. Researchers will monitor tumor shrinkage, survival, side effects, and quality of life.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Adaptive Pulse Radiotherapy (Pulse RT) combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective way to treat advanced solid tumors by boosting the immune system's ability to fight cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy could also cause unexpected side effects.
