A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying treatments for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a type of lung cancer that is not small cell in nature. The study involves two main treatments. The first treatment is with a medication called durvalumab, also known by its code name MEDI4736, which is given alongside a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The second treatment involves a medication called osimertinib, also known as AZD9291, which is given after radiation therapy to patients whose cancer has a specific change in the EGFR gene, making it more sensitive to this treatment.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how effective these treatments are in managing early-stage NSCLC. For the durvalumab group, the study will compare the effects of durvalumab combined with SBRT to a placebo combined with SBRT. For the osimertinib group, the study will assess the effects of osimertinib following SBRT in patients with an EGFR mutation. The study will follow participants over a period to observe the progression of the disease and overall survival rates.
Participants in the study will receive either the active treatment or a placebo, depending on the group they are in. The study will involve regular monitoring and assessments to track the progress of the disease and any side effects from the treatments. The study aims to provide valuable information on the effectiveness of these treatments in improving outcomes for patients with early-stage NSCLC.
The trial runs in 6 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

is a medication used in this trial to help the body's immune system fight cancer. It is being tested in combination with a type of radiation therapy called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) to see if it can improve outcomes for patients with certain types of lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
is another medication being studied in this trial. It is used for patients with a specific genetic mutation in their lung cancer. The trial is testing if taking osimertinib after receiving SBRT can help prevent the cancer from coming back over a period of four years.
Durvalumab is administered as an intravenous infusion, typically given in a clinical setting. It is currently being studied in clinical trials for its effectiveness in treating patients with unresected Stage I/II, lymph-node negative Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). The main therapeutic indication is to improve progression-free survival in these patients. At the molecular level, durvalumab works by blocking the PD-L1 protein, which helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. It is classified as an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
Osimertinib is taken orally in tablet form. It is being investigated in clinical trials for patients with unresected Stage I/II, lymph-node negative NSCLC that have a specific EGFR mutation. The primary therapeutic use is to enhance progression-free survival following standard care stereotactic body radiation therapy. Osimertinib functions by inhibiting the activity of the EGFR tyrosine kinase, which is involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. It is classified as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
