Consolidation Radiotherapy vs. Observation in Oligoresidual Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer After Chemo-Immunotherapy
Sponsor: Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
Summary
This clinical study investigates whether adding local radiation therapy (radiotherapy) to standard maintenance therapy benefits patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have a limited number of residual tumors after initial treatment. The primary objective is to determine if adding targeted radiation therapy to residual lesions prolongs progression-free survival in NSCLC patients with "oligo-residual lesions" (5 or fewer tumors in no more than 3 organs) following first-line chemoimmunotherapy. Researchers hypothesize that combination therapy will slow cancer progression more effectively than maintenance therapy alone. Eligible participants include adults (18+) with advanced NSCLC who have completed 4-6 cycles of first-line chemoimmunotherapy, show limited residual disease on Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT), and lack specific genetic mutations (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor \[EGFR\], Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase \[ALK\], etc.). Patients will be randomized into two groups: Experimental: Continuation of maintenance therapy (immunotherapy alone or with chemotherapy) plus local radiotherapy to all residual tumors Control: Continuation of maintenance therapy only The study aims to answer: Primary: Does adding radiotherapy slow cancer progression more effectively? Secondary: Does it improve overall survival, control residual disease, and what are its effects on safety and quality of life? Participants will: Be randomly assigned to a treatment group Receive their designated treatment Undergo regular check-ups and imaging scans Complete quality of life questionnaires Potentially provide blood samples for research This research will help determine optimal treatment approaches for this specific patient population to improve outcomes and quality of life.

Immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) maintenance therapy combined with radiotherapy
Immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) maintenance therapy combined with radiotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC who have not progressed after 4-6 cycles of first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy and who have an oligo-residual status confirmed by PETCT.
