ESR1814205 Trial Summary

This trial is for elderly or poor-risk patients with inoperable NSCLC who have not been previously treated. It is a phase II study, which means that researchers are still determining if the treatment is effective. The treatment consists of chemoradiation (a combination of chemotherapy and radiation) followed by the immunotherapy drug Durvalumab.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for elderly (70+ years) or adults over 18 with poor risk stage IIIA-C NSCLC who are medically inoperable. They must have no brain metastases, weigh more than 30kg, and be able to follow the study protocol. Their organs must function well, they should not be pregnant, and agree to use birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Durvalumab following chemoradiation in patients with stage III NSCLC who are either elderly or at a poor risk due to their health status. It's an open-label phase II study where all participants receive the same treatment without a comparison group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Durvalumab may cause immune-related side effects like inflammation of organs, infusion reactions, fatigue, possible blood disorders and increased infection risks. Side effects can vary from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What are the investigators of this trial hoping to discover?

"The research team plans to monitor this study for a whole year in order to gauge the efficacy of split course chemoradiation in relation to completion rates. Additionally, they will secondary outcomes including One-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Rate of grade 3 and 4 toxicities."

Answered by AI

For what purpose is Durvalumab most commonly prescribed?

"Durvalumab is frequently used to treat unresectable stage iii non-small cell lung cancer. However, it has also been known to be effective in treating other conditions such as previously untreated, metastatic ureter urothelial carcinoma and advance directives."
