Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with medically inoperable Stage I-IIA peripheral NSCLC tumors who have not received prior chemotherapy or radiation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with operable tumors or those who have previously undergone chemotherapy or radiation therapy for NSCLC may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase II clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of Durvalumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor, administered after Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with Stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study is randomized and multicenter, enrolling 106 patients who will be assigned to either receive Durvalumab or follow-up care only. Patients with peripheral tumors will undergo SBRT in 3 to 4 fractions, followed by Durvalumab treatment every four weeks for 12 months for those in the treatment group. The trial aims to assess the safety and efficacy of this combination therapy through regular follow-ups and imaging assessments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve treatment outcomes for patients with early-stage NSCLC by enhancing the effectiveness of radiotherapy through immunotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of immunotherapy and radiotherapy, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Previous enrollment in the present study * Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks * Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab * Second primary residual malignancy. Other malignancy diagnosed and treated \> 5 years ago without relapse is allowed. (Carcinoma in situ of the cervix or adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin \< 5 years are allowed) * Receipt of the last dose of anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal antibodies, other investigational agent) 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug * Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥470 ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Frediricia's Correction * Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid * Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders . The following are exceptions to this criterion: * Subjects with vitiligo or alopecia * Subjects with hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement * Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy * Subjects without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician * Subjects with celiac disease controlled by diet alone * History of primary immunodeficiency * History of allogeneic organ transplant * History of hypersensitivity to durvalumab or any excipient * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA III-IV), uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, interstitial lung disease, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease, active bleeding diatheses * Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and TB testing in line with local practice), hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result), hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies).
