Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Participants will receive moderately hypofractionated chemoradiotherapy with consolidation immunotherapy (60 Gy in 20 fractions to the primary tumour or 55 Gy in 20 fractions to involved lymph nodes (LN) 2.75 -3.0 Gy per fraction over 4 weeks).
Radiation: Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy
Participants will receive conventionally fractionated chemoradiotherapy with consolidation immunotherapy (60Gy in 30 fractions of 66Gy in 33 fractions at 2 Gy per fraction over 6-7 weeks).
Radiation: Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy
Participants will receive moderately hypofractionated chemoradiotherapy with consolidation immunotherapy (60 Gy in 20 fractions to the primary tumour or 55 Gy in 20 fractions to involved lymph nodes (LN) 2.75 -3.0 Gy per fraction over 4 weeks).

Win Ratio Based on a Hierarchical Composite Endpoint
The primary outcome is the win ratio comparing Arm 1 with Arm 2 using a hierarchical composite endpoint comprising the following components, assessed in order of priority: Progression-free survival (PFS) over 24 months, with a tie margin of 3 months. Thoracic-related adverse events assessed using CTCAE version 6.0 within 90 days of treatment commencement. Healthcare contact days within 90 days of randomisation, with a tie margin of 5 days. Change from baseline to 90 days in the EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status score, with a tie margin of 10 points. The win ratio will be used to assess whether Arm 1 is superior to Arm 2 based on the hierarchical comparison of these outcomes.
Time frame: From randomisation to 24 months, incorporating adverse events within 90 days of treatment commencement and healthcare contact days and quality-of-life changes within 90 days of randomisation.
Progression free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomisation to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS will be compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2.
Time frame: From randomisation to disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months.
Proportion of Participants Experiencing Grade ≥3 Thoracic-Related Adverse Events
The proportion of participants experiencing at least one Grade 3 or higher thoracic-related adverse event, assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 6.0. The proportion will be compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2.
Time frame: From treatment commencement to 90 days after treatment commencement.
Number of Healthcare Contact Days
The number of days with any hospital-based healthcare contact, including scheduled treatment attendances, inpatient hospitalisation days or emergency department presentations. Multiple healthcare contacts occurring on the same day will be counted as one healthcare contact day. The number of healthcare contact days will be compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2.
Time frame: From randomisation to 90 days after randomisation.
Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Scores at 90 Days
Change from baseline to 90 days in global health status/quality of life, assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The global health status/quality of life scale is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better global health status and quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline to 90 days after randomisation.
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from randomisation to death from any cause. Overall survival will be compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2.
Time frame: From randomisation to death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months
Patterns of First Disease Recurrence or Progression
The pattern of first disease recurrence or progression will be classified as local progression (in-field recurrence involving the treated primary tumour or nodal disease), regional progression (out-of-field recurrence involving non-treated intrathoracic regional lymph nodes), distant recurrence (recurrence at sites not classified as local or regional, including the non-treated lung), or a combination of these categories. Patterns of first recurrence or progression will be compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2.
Time frame: From randomisation to first documented disease recurrence or progression, assessed up to 24 months.
Incremental Cost per Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) Gained
Cost-effectiveness will be compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2 using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), calculated as the difference in healthcare costs between treatment arms divided by the difference in quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained.
Time frame: From randomisation to 24 months
Longitudinal Changes in Circulating Immune Biomarkers and Cell-Free/Circulating Tumour DNA (cfDNA/ctDNA)
Longitudinal changes in circulating immune biomarkers, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) will be assessed and compared between Arm 1 and Arm 2. Associations between biomarker measures and progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and treatment-related adverse events will also be evaluated.
Time frame: Baseline (prior to radiotherapy), Week 2 of radiotherapy, final week of radiotherapy (Week 4 or Week 6-7, depending on treatment arm), 4-6 weeks after radiotherapy, and at disease recurrence or progression, assessed up to 24 months.

Start is estimated for Mar 2027; primary completion for Mar 2032, 60 months later.
Of 343 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, half reached primary completion within 52 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 98. This study's planned 60 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 359 studies reached it within 51 months; a quarter within 26 and three quarters within 97.
