Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults 18–80 years old with newly diagnosed stage IV NSCLC, confirmed bone metastasis appropriate for local SBRT, no prior systemic therapy, and (for adenocarcinoma) negative EGFR/ALK/ROS1 status with at least one measurable non‑bone lesion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known driver mutations (EGFR/ALK/ROS1), prior systemic therapy for lung cancer, diffuse bone involvement not amenable to SBRT, or poor performance status are less likely to benefit from this combination.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This single‑arm, single‑center phase II trial will enroll treatment‑naïve adults with stage IV non‑small cell lung cancer and investigator‑confirmed bone metastases. Participants receive narlumosbart (a monoclonal antibody against RANKL) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to bone lesions in combination with standard first‑line platinum‑based chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. The trial is based on the rationale that RANKL inhibition and focused bone radiation may reverse the immunosuppressive bone microenvironment and amplify systemic chemo‑immunotherapy effects. Key outcomes include tumor response by RECIST 1.1, safety, and control of bone disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could increase response rates and disease control in patients with bone metastases and potentially extend progression‑free and overall survival.
How similar studies have gone: Prior preclinical and some clinical data indicate that RANKL inhibitors and SBRT can modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and show signals of synergy with immunotherapy, but the specific combination with narlumosbart plus first‑line chemo‑immunotherapy is novel and not yet proven in large trials.
