Study on Whether Durvalumab and Radiation Therapy Can Slow Down Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Sponsor score: 60

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03999710

This clinical trial is exploring if combining the drug Durvalumab with radiation therapy can help delay the progression of non-small cell lung cancer in patients who usually receive chemotherapy followed by radiation.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The aim of this study is to find out if using Durvalumab together with radiation therapy can slow down the worsening of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients who typically receive chemotherapy followed by radiation. This approach is being tested to see if it can provide better outcomes for patients with this type of lung cancer.
