NRG-LU008 for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer - Clinical Trial

What is the Purpose of this Study?

We are doing this study to find out if stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) might be beneficial for people with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We want to compare the outcomes between the standard treatment for NSCLC and the standard treatment with the addition of SBRT.

What is the Condition Being Studied?

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Who Can Participate in the Study?

Adults ages 18+ who:

  • Are diagnosed with Stage II or Stage III NSCLC
  • Have metastases to the lymph nodes in the chest
  • Are not a candidate for surgery

What is Involved?

If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to 1 of 2 groups:

  • Group 1: If you are in this group, you will first get the usual treatment of radiation plus chemotherapy. The radiation will be given for about 6 weeks and the chemotherapy is given at the same time. Next, you will receive the usual immune therapy, durvalumab, every 2 or 4 weeks intravenously for up to 12 months, or, if you are unable to receive immune therapy, you may receive additional doses of the same chemotherapy you received during radiation. Your study doctor will explain your treatment options.
  • Group 2: If you are in this group, you will have SBRT first for about 1-2 weeks before getting the usual radiation, chemotherapy, and immune therapy (or more chemotherapy if you can't have immune therapy) described above for group 1. The SBRT will be given in 3-5 doses over several days.
