A Phase II Study of Targeted Radiation Therapy for People with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer that Spread to the Liver

Full Title

A phase II trial of Hepatic Ablation of Metastases to Modulate and Enhance immunotherapy Response (HAMMER) in NSCLC

Purpose

Liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (L-SABR) is a standard treatment that uses radiation therapy to target tumors that have spread to the liver while limiting the radiation dose to surrounding organs. L-SABR may also boost the immune response.

In this study, researchers want to see if adding L-SABR to standard immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the liver is more effective than standard therapy alone. Participants with stage IV NSCLC being treated with immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) will be randomly assigned to receive L-SABR in addition to their standard therapy or continue to receive standard therapy alone.
