New hope for frail lung cancer patients: radiation boosts immune therapy

NCT ID NCT04351256

Summary

This study is testing whether combining a type of radiation therapy with an immunotherapy drug (durvalumab) can help control stage III lung cancer in elderly or frail patients who are too weak for standard chemotherapy. The trial will enroll 51 patients to see if this combination is safe and effective. Researchers are testing two different radiation schedules to see which works better with the immunotherapy drug.
