Double attack on aggressive lung cancer: radiation joins forces with immune drug

NCT ID NCT04472949

Summary

This trial is testing if adding chest radiation therapy to a maintenance immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) can better control advanced small cell lung cancer. Patients first receive standard chemotherapy combined with durvalumab. If the cancer responds or stays stable, they then receive radiation to the chest while continuing the immunotherapy for up to two years. The main goal is to see if this combination helps keep the cancer from progressing for a longer time.
