A Phase II Trial of Hepatic Ablation of Metastases to Modulate and Enhance Immunotherapy Response (HAMMER) in NSCLC
Summary
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.
Arms & interventions
- RadiationL-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.
- BiologicalAnti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy
Standard of care treatment (anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy +/- platinum based chemotherapy
- DrugPlatinum based chemotherapy
Standard of care treatment (anti-PD-(L)1 based immunotherapy +/- platinum based chemotherapy
Outcome measures
Primary
Median progression-free survival
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.
Time frame: up to 4 years
