Phase 1 Study of Tumor Treating Fields for Locally Advanced NSCLC
This study is looking at the safety of adding a device called the NovoTTF-200T (TTFields) System to standard treatments for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). You would receive standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) with radiation, followed by an immunotherapy drug called Durvalumab. The NovoTTF-200T System delivers electrical fields to the chest. The main goal is to see how many people experience serious side effects (dose-limiting toxicities or DLTs) when using TTFields with these other treatments. This study is for people aged 22 or older with unresectable stage IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC NSCLC. The study plans to enroll 30 participants.
- Study design
- This is an open-label, Phase 1 study, meaning everyone knows what treatments are being given. It aims to enroll 30 participants to assess the safety of the new treatment combination.
- What's involved
- You would undergo screening before starting standard chemotherapy and radiation. Treatment includes chemotherapy and radiation for 6-7 weeks, followed by Durvalumab for up to 12 cycles. The primary safety check is at 12 weeks.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary safety outcome (dose-limiting toxicities) is measured at 12 weeks.
