What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether a special radiation method (SFRT) given alongside immunotherapy (tislelizumab) and standard chemotherapy can shrink stage III lung tumors that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to see if this combination makes more patients eligible for surgery. Thirty participants will receive the treatment and be monitored for side effects and surgical success.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Spatially fractionated radiotherapy (SFRT), tislelizumab, carboplatin, pemetrexed, nab-paclitaxel
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could help shrink hard-to-treat lung tumors enough to allow surgery, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study (30 people) testing a new radiation technique plus immunotherapy and chemo, so side effects may be significant and results may not apply to all patients.
