New radiation therapy approach for advanced lung cancer with Navelbine®
Official title: Novel Approach to Radiotherapy in Locally Advanced Lung Cancer - Heterogeneous FDG-guided Dose Escalation With Concomitant Navelbine®
Run by Odense University Hospital · NCT02354274 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new way of giving radiation therapy to see if targeting higher doses to specific areas can help people with advanced lung cancer feel better compared to standard treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with histologically or cytologically proven locally advanced NSCLC stage IIB to IIIB and a performance status of 0-1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with unstable systemic disorders or those requiring nasal oxygen may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of escalating radiation doses to tumors and lymph nodes in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It compares an inhomogeneous dose distribution, guided by FDG-PET positive areas, to a standard homogeneous dose spread. The goal is to determine if this targeted approach can improve treatment outcomes. Patients will receive either the escalated or standard radiation treatment as part of their care plan.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective treatment options for patients with advanced lung cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored similar approaches to radiation therapy, but this specific method of dose escalation based on FDG-PET imaging is relatively novel.
