Brain Metastases From Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase II Clinical Trial of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and Fractionated Stereotactic Radiotherapy (fSRT) vs. Personalized Ultra-Fractionated Stereotactic Adaptive Radiotherapy (PULSAR) for the Treatment of Brain Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
This is a research study to find out if the new anti-cancer drug Durvalumab combined with radiation therapy to the brain will work in treating brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Focused, highly precise radiation therapy to the brain, known as stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), is a standard of care treatment that is commonly used for patients with metastatic lung cancer to the brain. It is standardly used as an alternative to surgery to eradicate the targeted tumours in the brain and prevent them from growing and causing symptoms. This study will look at the combination of the novel immunotherapy Durvalumab with two different ways of delivering SRS: 1) with each radiation treatment given every other day for 3 treatments with the first dose of Durvalumab (fSRT), or 2) with each radiation treatment, referred to as a "pulse," given every 4 weeks with each dose of Durvalumab for 3 treatments (PULSAR).
