Combining targeted therapy with radiation for specific lung cancer patients
Official title: A Phase II Randomized Controlled Trial of TKI Alone Versus TKI and Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy in Oncogene Driver Mutated Oligo Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
Run by Tata Memorial Hospital · NCT05277844 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if adding radiation therapy to a targeted cancer treatment can help people with a specific type of lung cancer feel better compared to just using the targeted treatment alone.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with oncogene driver mutations in NSCLC who have limited metastatic disease and have been on TKI therapy without progression.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with extensive metastatic disease or those who have not responded to TKI therapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This Phase II randomized controlled trial investigates the effectiveness of combining targeted therapy with local consolidative radiation therapy (LCRT) compared to targeted therapy alone in patients with oncogene driver mutated oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TKI therapy alone or TKI therapy alongside LCRT to treat localized disease and up to five metastatic sites. The study aims to evaluate the potential benefits of adding radiation therapy to improve patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance treatment efficacy and improve survival rates for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of targeted therapies and radiation in treating oligometastatic cancers.
