Can a One-Two punch of radiation and immune therapy better fight lung cancer?

NCT ID NCT03110978

Summary

This study is testing if combining a targeted, high-dose radiation treatment with an immunotherapy drug works better than radiation alone for certain early-stage or recurrent non-small cell lung cancers. About 140 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the radiation treatment by itself or the radiation plus the immunotherapy drug nivolumab. The main goal is to see if the combination helps keep the cancer from coming back for a longer period.
