NCT ID NCT07381231

First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests 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 with various cancers who are already receiving or planning to receive immune checkpoint inhibitors. Participants will get 2-3 high-dose radiation sessions alongside their usual immunotherapy, with the radiation target adjusted based on tumor response. Researchers will track 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 study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy could also cause unexpected side effects.
