About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase I/II Study of Ablative Radiotherapy +/- MEDI 4736 (Durvalumab) for Medically Inoperable Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study uses durvalumab (MEDI 4736), an experimental type of drug made by Astra Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, (limited partnership) LP, which in early studies has shown to possibly reduce the growth of certain types of lung cancer. The Investigators will enroll up to 105 subjects into the study. After an initial safety sample of 15 individuals receiving durvalumab (MEDI 4736) and Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR), if it is shown to be safe to administer this combination of therapies, the next enrolled subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion (each subject with a "50-50 chance" like the flip of a coin) to receive either SABR and durvalumab (MEDI 4736), or SABR alone.

Once treatment is completed, all subjects will return to the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) for regular follow-up visits to check on their health and outcomes. At visits both prior to and after treatment special blood samples will be drawn to be studied by UCLA scientists to look into the basic science aspects of how durvalumab (MEDI 4736) and radiation work in the body. It is hoped that we will learn more about the basic safety and science of durvalumab (MEDI 4736) combined with Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) vs. SABR alone, while extending the life and quality of life of these subjects.

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, prospective, randomized phase II study with a phase I safety lead in. Patients in this study will undergo radiation therapy alone or in combination with durvalumab (MEDI 4736). Patients eligible for treatment must be diagnosed with node negative, non-metastatic, biopsy- proven early-stage NSCLC and be ineligible for surgical resection or refuse surgical resection.

Enrollment will begin with a phase I lead in evaluating radiation therapy with durvalumab (MEDI 4736). (Regimen A) to ensure general safety of this combination and specifically relating to pulmonary toxicity (pneumonitis), cardiac toxicity (pericarditis) and gastrointestinal toxicity (esophagitis, gastritis, enterocolitis). Following initial demonstration of safety, enrollment to the phase II component with 1:1 randomization to radiation therapy and durvalumab (MEDI 4736), (Regimen A) or radiation therapy alone (Regimen B) will be performed with stratification only based on T-stage (Tumor) (T1 versus T2). A total of 90 patients will be randomized in the phase II component.

Regimen A:

Durvalumab (MEDI 4736), at 1500 mg via IV infusion will be delivered on day -5 of therapy. Radiation therapy will start on Day 0 ±5 from the first infusion of durvalumab (MEDI 4736) and patients will receive 3, 4, or 10 fractions of radiation therapy to a total dose of 54 Grays (Gy), 50Gy, or 65Gy, respectively.

Starting on day 23 (28 days post first durvalumab (MEDI 4736), infusion), durvalumab (MEDI 4736), 1500mg IV q4weeks will be delivered for up to 4 additional cycles or until progression, toxicity or withdrawal from study.

Regimen B:

Patients will receive radiation therapy alone of 3, 4, or 10 fractions to a total dose of 54Gy, 50Gy, or 65Gy, respectively. Regimen B patients will not receive durvalumab (MEDI 4736) and will only receive radiation therapy.

Safety review will continue to occur on an ongoing basis. Should the rates of grade 3 treatment-related pulmonary toxicity (defined as pneumonitis), cardiac toxicity (defined as pericarditis) or gastrointestinal toxicity (defined as esophagitis, gastritis or enter colitis) be observed at a frequency greater than 15%, accrual will be halted and study will be re-evaluated. Should any patient have ≥ grade 4 treatment-related adverse effects, accrual will be halted and study will be re-evaluated Follow-up Routine surveillance computerized axial tomography (CT) imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis will be performed starting at 12 weeks after completion of radiation in both treatment groups to allow for primary endpoint assessment. Routine CT imaging surveillance will continue per standard of care. Patients will also be followed clinically with history and physical examinations, vitals signs, and laboratory examinations as indicated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Durvalumab (MEDI 4736) and Radiotherapy in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 23 inclusion and 27 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States, Australia. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Phase I: The number and severity of study participants' treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0. (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03148327, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Jul 2026.
