Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study of Three-Dimensional Radiotherapy for Primary Tumors in Non-Oligometastatic Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

March 8, 2026 updated by: Guizhou Medical University
For patients with non-small cell lung cancer and more than five metastatic lesions (non-oligometastatic disease), does radical treatment of the primary lung lesion, in addition to pharmacotherapy, also provide benefits in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and local control? Currently, there is limited clinical research on combining pharmacotherapy with radiotherapy for the primary lesion in non-oligometastatic patients. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether radical radiotherapy targeting the primary lung lesion, in addition to pharmacotherapy, can improve local control and survival in non-oligometastatic patients, and whether the associated toxicities are acceptable.

Phase

Phase

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
No Intervention: Pharmacotherapy group
For patients positive for driver gene mutations, first-line targeted therapy with or without chemotherapy is recommended according to NCCN guidelines. For patients negative for driver gene mutations, first-line immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy is recommended according to NCCN guidelines.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival, Local regional progressive-free survival, LRPFS
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year

OS refers to the period the date of randomization in a clinical trial until the patient dies from any cause.

Local progression-free survival time refers to the duration from randomization until the first occurrence of local progression at the primary tumor site or region, or death from any cause
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ORR,
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1year.
ORR define the objective response rate according to RECIST version 1.1.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1year.
PFS
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year
PFS, definehe length of time during and after treatment that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse. It is typically measured from the start of treatment until disease progression or death from any cause.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year
Toxicities
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year
Toxicities: The primary assessment of radiotherapy-related toxicities is based on the CTC 5.0 criteria, focusing on treatment-related toxicities such as radiation pneumonitis, radiation esophagitis, bone marrow suppression, and hematologic toxicities affecting the liver and kidneys.
