NCT ID NCT05278052

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding targeted radiation to all cancer spots (up to 5) improves survival in people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to a few places. Participants receive either standard maintenance therapy alone or standard therapy plus radiation. The study aims to enroll 190 adults and will measure overall survival and how long the cancer stays controlled.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If successful, adding radiation to standard therapy could help people with limited metastatic lung cancer live longer and control the disease better.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with 190 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Radiation can cause side effects, and it is not yet known if it will improve survival.
