NCT ID NCT02764086

First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving a higher radiation dose directly to the lung tumor, while keeping standard doses to surrounding areas, is safe for people with non-small cell lung cancer. Six participants received this targeted dose escalation along with chemotherapy. The goal was to find the highest safe dose without causing severe side effects, but the trial was stopped early.
