Tailored radiation blasts lung tumors faster in new trial
NCT ID NCT06080061
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 1 trial tests a personalized, accelerated radiation therapy for locally advanced lung cancer. The radiation dose is tailored to each patient's tumor size and location, aiming to deliver a higher dose in fewer sessions. The study will enroll 45 adults with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer who are also receiving chemotherapy. The main goal is to check for serious lung and esophagus side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hypofractionated accelerated radiation therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more effective and personalized radiation treatment for lung cancer, potentially improving tumor control while reducing side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial with only 45 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. There is a risk of lung, esophageal, or heart side effects from the higher radiation dose.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically documented malignancy of the lung including non-small cell lung cancer or small cell lung cancer planned for definitive therapy with fractionated radiation (60-66 Gy) and concurrent systemic therapy * ECOG performance status of 0-2 * Age ≥ 18 years old * Ability to understand and the willingness to personally sign the written IRB approved informed consent document * Estimated life expectancy of 12 weeks or longer Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to receiving radiotherapy or systemic therapy as determined by treating radiation and medical oncologist * Age \< 18 years old * Tumor directly invading the major pulmonary arteries, aorta, heart or proximal bronchial tree * Diagnosis of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis * Previous radiation therapy to the thorax that would result in overlapping high dose radiation fields
