Omitting radiation for advanced lung cancer patients who responded to treatment

Official title: Omitting CTV Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Responded to Immunotherapy and Radiotherapy

Run by Hubei Cancer Hospital · NCT06020430 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether skipping radiation for patients with advanced lung cancer who have responded well to initial treatment can help reduce side effects while still keeping the cancer under control.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients with stage IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC non-small cell lung cancer who have shown a positive response to prior immunotherapy and chemotherapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumor progression after induction therapy or those with specific genetic mutations may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effects of omitting clinical target volume (CTV) radiation in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have responded to induction therapy with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The aim is to reduce the incidence of pneumonitis, a common side effect of radiotherapy, while maintaining effective local control of the cancer. By optimizing the radiotherapy approach, the study seeks to enhance immune function and improve patient outcomes. Participants will be monitored for their response to treatment and any adverse effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to reduced side effects and improved quality of life for patients undergoing treatment for advanced lung cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated that omitting CTV radiation is feasible for similar patient populations, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
