Site for NRG-LU002: MAINTENANCE SYSTEMIC THERAPY VERSUS LOCAL CONSOLIDATIVE THERAPY (LCT) PLUS MAINTENANCE SYSTEMIC THERAPY FOR LIMITED METASTATIC NON-SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC): A RANDOMIZED PHASE II/III TRIAL (PSCI# 21-028)

The purpose of this research study is to compare any good and bad effects of using the usual drug therapy plus radiation with or without surgery to treat the lung cancer and areas of metastasis (where the cancer has spread) compared with the usual drug therapy alone. Two types of radiation delivery will be used in this study. One type is called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and will be used to treat areas of metastasis (parts of your body where the cancer has spread). SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body. The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. The second type is standard radiation therapy and may be used to treat your primary lung tumor if SBRT cannot be used. Surgery also may be used to treat metastases or your primary lung tumor if you and your treating doctor decide this is a safe and better approach. Radiation, surgery, and usual drug therapy have already been tested for safety; however, using them in combination is not part of the usual approach. Adding radiation with or without surgery to the usual drug therapy could shrink or remove your tumor(s) or prevent the tumor(s) from returning but it could also cause side effects. This study will allow the researchers to know whether this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual therapy alone approach. Ultimately, to be better, the study treatment should increase life by six months or more compared to chemotherapy alone.

You are being asked to take part in this research study because you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer and it has spread to other parts of the body. You have received treatment and your disease is currently stable. People who are not in a study usually continue treatment with chemotherapy and/or immune therapy, and often a combination of drug therapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery is used. There are several Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved chemotherapy and immune therapy drugs that are commonly used as part of the usual treatment. For patients who receive the usual approach for non-small cell lung cancer, less than 5 out of 100 are free of cancer at five years
