A Study of Targeted Radiation Therapy in People With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to see whether adding liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy/L-SABR to standard drug therapy is better than standard drug therapy alone for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer/NSCLC.
View original scientific description
The purpose of this study is to see whether adding liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy/L-SABR to standard drug therapy is better than standard drug therapy alone for people with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer/NSCLC.
Interventions
RADIATION
L-SABR
L-SABR will be delivered in a week during which the patient receives no chemotherapy. L-SABR can be on the same week or even day as anti-PD-(L)1 therapy.
BIOLOGICAL
Anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy
Standard of care treatment (anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy +/- platinum based chemotherapy
DRUG
Platinum based chemotherapy
Standard of care treatment (anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy +/- platinum based chemotherapy
Primary outcome measures
Median progression-free survival
Time frame: up to 4 years
Primary outcomes is to determine if L-SABR, when added to first line standard of care anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy +/- chemotherapy, can improve median progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic NSCLC involving the liver.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
