MPDL3280A With Chemoradiation for Lung Cancer (NCT02525757)
DETERRED: PD-L1 blockadE To Evaluate the Safety of Lung CanceR Therapy Using Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Radiation CombinEd With MPDL3280A
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about the safety of adding MDPL3280A to standard chemotherapy (a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel) and radiation in patients with lung cancer. You are being asked to take part in this study because you have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery) and has not spread. This is an investigational study. MPDL3280A is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Paclitaxel, carboplatin, and the radiation therapy are all FDA approved for the treatment of lung cancer. The use of these drugs in combination is considered investigational. Up to 40 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
