Terminated trial sought new hope for tough cancer

NCT ID NCT04166734

Summary

This early-stage study tested whether combining a targeted, high-dose radiation (SBRT) with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) was safe and effective for patients with advanced, inoperable pleural mesothelioma whose cancer had progressed after initial chemotherapy. The trial was designed to first check safety in a small group before expanding, but it was terminated early. It aimed to see if this combination could better control the cancer and extend survival.
