OBLITERATE Trial Summary

This trial looks at how well adding a local therapy can improve outcomes for people with an oligo-progressive solid tumor. Outcomes are measured by time to treatment failure.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with certain lung cancers (non-small or small cell) who've seen benefits from their current cancer treatment but have a few new or worsening spots of cancer. They must be able to undergo local therapies like radiation and continue their systemic therapy with a short break.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding local treatments, such as targeted radiation, to ongoing systemic therapy helps control cancer when only a few areas are getting worse. The main goal is to see how long patients can stay on their current treatment without needing to change it due to the cancer progressing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, locally ablative therapies like radiation may cause skin irritation, fatigue, mild pain at the treatment site, and sometimes more serious issues depending on the area treated.
