What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial is testing whether giving radiotherapy to the main lung tumour, in addition to standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy, can reduce cancer spread and help people with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer live longer. Around 420 adults with newly diagnosed stage IV lung cancer that has spread to up to three organ systems will be randomly assigned to receive standard drug therapy alone or with upfront radiotherapy. The study will also look at side effects, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness to see if this combined approach is worth adopting widely.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radiotherapy to the primary lung tumour, given alongside standard chemotherapy or immunotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, adding radiotherapy to standard drug therapy could slow cancer spread, extend life, and improve well-being for people with metastatic lung cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a large phase III trial, but radiotherapy to the chest can cause side effects like inflammation or damage to nearby organs. It may not improve overall survival or quality of life for everyone.

Inclusion Criteria: * Newly diagnosed metastatic (stage IV) NSCLC, not amenable to curative surgery or curative radiotherapy * Histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC * EGFR/ALK/ROS1 Wild-type * Primary suitable for radiotherapy and not requiring immediate palliative thoracic irradiation * Investigator deemed appropriate for SoC systemic therapy * Metastases in up to 3 organ systems Exclusion Criteria: * Medically unfit for systemic therapy * EGFR/ALK/ROS1 mutation positive or actionable driver mutation with intention to use available targeted drug therapy * Has had previous thoracic radiotherapy of \> 36Gy within the 6 months prior to randomisation. * Has been diagnosed and/or treated additional malignancy within 2 years prior to randomisation with the exception of: Curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, curatively treated early-stage cervical cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer with no evidence of active disease and not on active therapy. Other exceptions may be considered following consultation with the principal investigator * Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis or current pneumonitis that requires active corticosteroids with a dose equivalent of prednisolone \> 10mg/d. * A known diagnosis of fibrotic interstitial lung disease * Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial. * Uncontrolled brain metastasis not amenable to debulking surgery or stereotactic radiotherapy * Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment within last year (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed
