Proton surgery zaps early lung tumors in first human test
NCT ID NCT07195084
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a new type of radiation surgery called hypervision proton surgery for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see if a single, high-dose treatment is safe and can control the tumor. Only 12 participants will be enrolled, and researchers will monitor side effects and survival for one year.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * The patient must be at least 18 years old * Karnofsky Performance Status \> 80 * NSCLC confirmed by cytology or histology; for subjects who cannot safely obtain pathological evidence due to factors such as tumor lesion location, patient's underlying diseases, or high puncture risk, after unanimous consent of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion, they meet the clinical diagnostic criteria for NSCLC based on typical imaging features (such as enhanced chest CT and/or PET/CT) combined with clinical manifestations; * Early-stage tumors are defined as T1 (≤3cm) N0M0 based on enhanced computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) * The tumor must be more than 2 cm away from the proximal bronchial tree in all directions (the proximal bronchial tree is defined as 2 cm from the distal end of the trachea, the protrusion and the named lobar bronchus up to its first bifurcation) * FEV1 ≥ 1 L, FEV1 ≥ 40% of the predicted value (either one is sufficient); DLCO ≥ 40% of the predicted value * The patient can tolerate PET-CT examination * For female study participants of childbearing age, the urine or serum pregnancy test was negative within 7 days prior to the first administration of the study drug. If the result of the urine pregnancy test is positive, a blood pregnancy test is required Exclusion Criteria: * Other malignant tumors occurred concurrently within 2 years before enrollment * A history of chest radiotherapy in the past * It is planned to use other anti-tumor treatments within the regimen treatment (within 4 weeks)
