What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a Phase II clinical study for people with stage IV cancer. The study will evaluate the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), a type of focused radiation treatment, together with immunotherapy-based treatment. SRBT will be used to treat multiple areas of cancer that have spread to other parts of the body. The study will evaluate whether this treatment approach can be safely given while patients continue their planned cancer treatment and may help control their cancer.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with stage IV cancers such as cervical, esophageal, head and neck, lung, or stomach cancer. Participants must be well enough to receive both immunotherapy and focused radiation (SBRT).

Inclusion Criteria

I agree to use effective birth control during and after the study as required.
My lung cancer has a PD-L1 CPS score of 50% or higher.
