ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03833154

This clinical trial is testing the effectiveness and safety of the drug Durvalumab combined with radiation therapy compared to a placebo in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be surgically removed. Another part of the study is evaluating the drug Osimertinib after radiation therapy in patients with a specific genetic mutation (EGFR).

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

This study is exploring two main treatments for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be removed by surgery. The first part of the study compares the drug Durvalumab with a placebo, both given alongside standard radiation therapy, to see which is more effective in preventing cancer from worsening and improving survival. The second part focuses on patients with a specific genetic mutation (EGFR) and tests the effectiveness of the drug Osimertinib after radiation therapy.

Description

In this study, patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that cannot be surgically removed will receive standard radiation therapy. They will be randomly assigned to receive either Durvalumab or a placebo. The main goal is to see if Durvalumab helps patients live longer without the cancer getting worse compared to the placebo.

Additionally, for patients whose cancer has a specific genetic mutation called EGFR, the study will test if taking Osimertinib after radiation therapy is effective in keeping the cancer from progressing over four years. The study will also look at the safety and overall survival of patients taking Osimertinib.

Participants will be monitored for side effects and the effectiveness of the treatments. The study aims to provide insights into better treatment options for patients with early stage NSCLC.
