Phase 2 — Testing in a bigger group (up to a few hundred people) to see if the treatment actually works and is still safe.
This trial is testing whether adding a highly focused radiation treatment called liver stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (L-SABR) to standard immunotherapy improves outcomes for people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the liver. Half of participants will receive the standard immunotherapy drugs alone, while the other half will receive the same immunotherapy plus the specialized radiation therapy. The goal is to see if combining these two approaches works better than immunotherapy by itself.
Immunotherapy drugs have helped many people with advanced lung cancer, but not everyone responds well to them. Researchers believe that adding targeted radiation therapy to the liver may help boost the body's immune response and improve how well the immunotherapy works.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive standard immunotherapy drugs as usual. The other group will also receive specialized radiation therapy to tumors in the liver, which involves planning scans followed by targeted radiation treatments. You will have regular follow-up visits to monitor how well the treatment is working and check for any side effects. The study will track your progress over time to compare outcomes between the two groups.
