Full Title
A Randomized Phase III Trial of Induction/Consolidation Atezolizumab (NSC #783608) + SBRT Versus SBRT Alone in High Risk, Early Stage NSCLC (S1914) (CIRB)Purpose
Radiation therapy, such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to SBRT is more effective than SBRT alone for patients with inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Atezolizumab boosts the power of the immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells. Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to receive atezolizumab plus SBRT or SBRT alone. Atezolizumab is given intravenously (by vein).
