First seen Apr 13, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests whether using inhaled steroids before and during radiation therapy can lower the risk and severity of lung inflammation (pneumonitis) in people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. About 72 participants will receive either the inhaled steroid or a placebo alongside their standard cancer treatment. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients breathe easier and maintain their quality of life during treatment.
