Study Summary

This trial aims to see if giving radiation to the main lung tumor before starting a specific drug can help patients with advanced lung cancer live longer without their disease getting worse.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet. It's specifically for those whose cancer has certain genetic changes (driver mutations) and who are healthy enough to undergo radiation therapy followed by a targeted drug treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if giving radiation to the main lung tumor before starting TKI medication can help delay the cancer from getting worse. All participants will receive this sequence of treatments, and their progress will be closely monitored.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Radiation may cause skin irritation, fatigue, shortness of breath, or coughing. TKI therapy could lead to diarrhea, rash, liver issues, or other side effects depending on the specific drug used.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are prospective patients still eligible to participate in this ongoing medical study?

"The trial listed on clinicaltrials.gov, initially shared on April 15th, 2024 and last revised on March 5th, 2024, is currently inactive in terms of participant recruitment. Nevertheless, there are a noteworthy total of 2052 other ongoing trials that are presently open for enrollment."

Answered by AI

Has the combined approach of radiation therapy followed by mutation-targeted TKI treatment received approval from the FDA?

"Designated as a Phase 2 trial, our team at Power rates the safety of radiation therapy paired with mutation-matched TKI treatment at level 2. This indicates existing data supporting safety but lacking evidence for efficacy."
