Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot phase I trial aims to investigate the safety and tolerability of low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) and concurrent partial stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have failed standard therapy. At least 9 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at West China Hospital, Sichuan University.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This exploratory phase I study will be conducted in West China Hospital, Sichuan University. A dose escalation of low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) and partial SBRT, 3 patients per cohort (a total of 9 patients) will be enrolled to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

All eligible patients will receive LDRT + partial SBRT at different dose levels (decried as below), followed by PD-1 inhibitors starting within 7 days after radiation completed. PD-1 inhibitors will be given at doses as recommended in the instruction manual every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, the patient withdraws informed consent, or PD-1 inhibitors reaches a maximum of up to 48 months.

Patients in the dose escalation will receive LDRT + partial SBRT at 3 cohorts with increasing dose levels: 2 Gy (2 Gy/f) + 10 Gy (10 Gy/f) in 1 fraction in dose level 1; 4 Gy (2 Gy/f) + 20 Gy (10 Gy/f) in 2 fractions in dose level 2; 6 Gy (2 Gy/f) + 30 Gy (10 Gy/f) in 3 fractions in dose level 3.
