However, responses differ greatly amongst patients. Additional radiotherapy (RT) may promote tumor-specific immunity and synergize with ICI to improve tumor control. The multicenter phase II FORCE trial evaluated safety and efficacy of nivolumab with additional palliative radiotherapy (5 × 4 Gy) as clinically indicated in pre-treated metastatic non-squamous NSCLC (group A, n = 41), including pretreated patients without an indication for radiotherapy in a parallel cohort as real-world controls (group B, n = 60).
