About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study to Evaluate the Addition of Tumor Treating Fields to Treatment of Locally Advanced Stage III NSCLC

The goal of this open-label, Phase 1 clinical trial is to determine the safety of TTFields started concurrently with SOC chemoradiation and during consolidation durvalumab in locally advanced, unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The main question it aims to answer is, "What is the rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) with TTFields in addition to concurrent chemoradiation and consolidation durvalumab?"

Step 1

Read more
  • All participants will be screened and enrolled in Step 1 prior to SOC concurrent chemoradiation.
  • The purpose of the Step 1 Registration is to ensure that eligible participants are candidate for concurrent chemoradiation and do not have contraindications to TTF therapy or immunotherapy.
  • Starting Level: Participants in Device Duration Level 1 will receive standard of care concurrent chemoradiation following Step 1 Registration.
  • Escalation Level : Participants in Device Duration Level 2 will begin standard of care chemoradiation and treatment with TTFields following Step 1 Registration.

Step 2

  • All participants will complete Step 2 screening and enrollment prior to receiving treatment with durvalumab consolidation therapy and TTFields.
  • The purpose of the Step 2 registration is to ensure that eligible patients meet criteria for consolidation durvalumab after completion of CRT and do not have contraindications to TTF. therapy or immunotherapy.
Being tested
carboplatin chemotherapy, NovoTTF-200T (TTFields) System, Durvalumab

What participants receive

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

  • carboplatin chemotherapyRadiation

    Also called paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel

    Concurrent chemoradiation will be given per standard of care within 24 hours of initiation of standard of care radiation therapy. Treatment will include a paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy regimen administered during the radiotherapy course (over 6-7 weeks).

    Paclitaxel (50 mg/m2) will be administered intravenous over 1 hour followed by Carboplatin AUC = 2 mg/min/mL intravenous weekly (every 7 days ± 3 days) during radiotherapy 11, NCCN Non-small cell lung cancer guidelines 2023).

    If a patient has a hypersensitivity reaction to weekly paclitaxel, weekly nab-paclitaxel is allowed to replace paclitaxel at the discretion of the treating medical oncologist 37. The recommended starting dose of weekly nab-paclitaxel is 40 mg/m2 to 50 mg/m2 38 39. Standard premedications with steroids, diphenhydramine, H2 receptor antagonist, and 5-HT3 receptor antagonist antiemetics must be administered per individual institutional guidelines.

  • NovoTTF-200T (TTFields) SystemDevice

    The NovoTTF-200T (TTFields) System is an investigational medical device delivering 150 kHz TTFields to the thorax for the treatment of patients at the age of 22 years or older. The device is a portable, battery operated system which delivers TTFields at 150 kHz to the thorax by means of insulated Transducer Arrays. The NovoTTF-200T produces electric forces intended to disrupt cancer cell division.

    TTFields at 150 kHz to the thorax will be continuous for at least 11 hours a day on average, with a recommended duration of at least 18 hours a day. Subjects may take breaks for personal needs (e.g. showering, array exchange). TTFields may be continued as long as there is no disease progression per RECIST 1.1 or any of the treatment discontinuation conditions for subject withdrawal or termination.

  • DurvalumabDrug

    Also called Imfinzi

    Consolidation Durvalumab will be given per standard of care and institutional guidelines every 4 weeks for up to 12 cycles. Refer to package insert for detailed pharmacologic, dosing, and safety information.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the DLT evaluation period

    To assess the safety of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) started concurrently with SOC chemoradiation and during consolidation durvalumab for treatment of unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. The frequency of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) characterized by type, severity (as defined by the NIH CTCAE, version 5.0), seriousness, duration, and relationship to study treatment

    To assess the safety and tolerability of TTFields started concurrently with SOC chemoradiation and during consolidation Durvalumab for treatment of unresectable stage III NSCLC.

    Measured: 1 year 6 months

  2. Progression-free survival as defined as the time from CRT to the time documented disease progression (as assessed by RECIST 1.1) or death from any cause.

    To assess progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: 1 year 6 months

  3. Overall survival (OS) as defined as the time from CRT until death from any cause.

    To assess overall survival (OS) in this study population

    Measured: 1 year 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing carboplatin chemotherapy, NovoTTF-200T (TTFields) System and Durvalumab in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Utah.

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 58 inclusion and 63 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Rate of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the DLT evaluation period (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT06124118.

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 3 Aug 2026.
