We searched “radiation and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors” in the clinicaltrials.gov database to identify studies with the following statuses: not yet recruiting, enrolling by invitation, recruiting, active, not recruiting, completed, and unknown status, with study type of interventional (Clinical Trial). A total of >60 trials were identified as trials using radiotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in advanced metastatic cancers (date of final query, 25 November 2020). Then we searched “radiation and immunotherapy” in the clinicaltrials.gov database as above. A total of >150 trials were detected. We identified the studies of radiotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in advanced metastatic cancers (date of final query, 25 November 2020). This list shows the trials that allowed more than one lesion irradiated. This list should not be considered comprehensive or exhaustive.

SABR, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy; PFS, progression free survival; CBI, checkpoint blockade immunotherapy; ORR, objective response rate; SBRT, stereotactic body radiotherapy; RCC, renal cell carcinoma; AE, adverse events; DLT, dose limiting toxicities; RT, raidotherapy; TKI, tyrosine kinase inhibitor; NSCLC, non-small-cell lung cancer; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; HNSCC, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; ICI, immune checkpoint inhibitor; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; OS, overall survival; ACC, adenoid cystic carcinoma; MSS, microsatellite stability.
