First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This phase II trial tests whether giving radiation, immunotherapy (sintilimab), and chemotherapy before surgery can shrink or eliminate cancer in the lymph nodes of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The study enrolls 28 adults aged 18-75 with stage IIIB or IIIC cancer that has spread to lymph nodes on the opposite side of the chest. The goal is to make more patients eligible for curative surgery and improve long-term outcomes.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Sintilimab (immunotherapy) plus paclitaxel or pemetrexed (chemotherapy) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
What this could lead to
If this works, it could help shrink advanced lung cancer tumors enough to allow more patients to have surgery, potentially improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-phase trial with only 28 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination of radiation, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy can cause serious side effects.
