Radiation zap may reboot failing cancer drugs

NCT ID NCT03693014

Summary

This study is testing if a short, high-precision form of radiation (SBRT) can help restart the effectiveness of immunotherapy drugs in patients whose cancer has started to grow again. It involves adults with certain advanced cancers (like melanoma, lung, or bladder cancer) who are already on an approved immunotherapy but have a limited number of new or growing tumors. The goal is to see if treating a few tumors with radiation helps the body's immune system fight cancer in other, untreated areas of the body.
