Cancer combo therapy under the microscope: real-world study launched
NCT ID NCT07665736
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will observe 200 cancer patients who are already receiving immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors) along with radiotherapy. Researchers want to see how long the cancer stays under control and how patients fare overall, in everyday clinical practice rather than a strict lab setting. The goal is to gather practical evidence on effectiveness and safety to help doctors make better treatment choices.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide real-world evidence to guide better treatment decisions for cancer patients using immunotherapy and radiotherapy together.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may vary widely due to the diverse patient population and treatments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years; 2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignant tumor; 3. Planned to receive immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy as the basis of treatment; 4. At least one measurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1); 5. Adequate organ function (reference may be made to laboratory test indicators, such as routine blood tests, liver and kidney function); 6. Voluntarily participate in this study, sign the informed consent form, and agree to comply with follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with severe cognitive impairment, mental illness, or other conditions that, in the judgment of the investigator, preclude them from cooperating with participation in this study; 2.
