Radiotherapy is given to half of all cancer patients but few new drugs are tested alongside it. A permanent trial platform would test drug-plus-radiation pairs systematically.
Radiosensitisers and immune-radiation combinations have strong biological rationale but almost no industry sponsorship because radiotherapy is unpatentable. The CONCORDE platform in the UK tests DNA-damage-response inhibitors with thoracic radiotherapy. Extending the model to a standing multi-tumour radiotherapy-drug platform with dose-finding modules and a shared radiotherapy quality-assurance backbone would fill a systematic gap.
