What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DurvalumabDrug

    Patients will receive durvalumab 1500mg durvalumab via IV infusion over 1 hour, once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for up to a maximum of 6 months (up to 6 doses/cycles) unless there is unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion is met.

  • Stereotactic Body Radiation TherapyRadiation

    Also called SBRT

    Radiation therapy will be performed with external beam ionizing radiation in accordance with institutional standard practice. 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) will be used at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival

    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate 2- year progression-free survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 with durvalumab combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) compared to historical controls with SBRT alone.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Durvalumab and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in people with NSCLC and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 37 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 May 2026.
