This trial will test the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy after stereotactic body radiation therapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study evaluates the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients who received treatment with stereotactic radiation for early stage lung cancer and who are at high risk for microscopic metastatic disease.

Chemotherapy in the form of cisplatin/docetaxel or cisplatin/pemetrexed will be administered approximately six weeks after Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). Patients will then undergo follow up clinical evaluation and imaging to evaluate treatment response and for surveillance.

A patient population of 65 patients will be required. Enrollment in this protocol is planned by multi center involvement in the state of Kentucky as part of the Kentucky Trial Network (KTN).

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
  • Histologically diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC, cT1-T3 (<= 5cm) (AJCC 7ed). The following histologies are eligible: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, large cell neuroendocrine, or non-small cell carcinoma not otherwise specified; bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma is a subtype of NSCLC but will be excluded from this study because assessment of multifocal disease spread through the airways is difficult.
  • Required CT of the chest and abdomen with contrast unless medically contraindicated (evaluating both lungs, mediastinum, liver, and adrenals) and Whole Body Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for staging. An integrated PET/Computed Tomography (CT) will meet the CT and PET requirements for staging. Images must be read by a trained radiologist and performed 8 weeks prior to initiation of treatment. PET imaging must allow adequate visualization of the primary tumor, draining lymphatics in hilar and mediastinum, adrenals, and skeleton.

Note: Per Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 0915 inclusion criteria, patients with hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes ≤ 1cm and no abnormal hilar or mediastinal uptake on PET will be considered N0. Patients with > 1 cm hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes on CT or abnormal PET (including suspicious but non-diagnostic uptake) may still be eligible if directed tissue biopsy of all abnormally identified areas are negative for cancer.

  • Deemed medically inoperable by an experienced thoracic cancer clinician for a standard lobectomy and lymph node sampling/dissection. Inoperability may be defined utilizing a number of criteria. These include any of the following:
  • Pretreatment Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) < 40% predicted
  • Postoperative FEV1 < 30% predicted
  • Severely reduced diffusion capacity
  • Baseline hypoxemia and/or hypercapnia
  • Exercise oxygen consumption < 50% predicted
  • Severe pulmonary hypertension
  • Diabetes mellitus with severe end organ damage
  • Severe cerebral, cardiac, or peripheral vascular disease
  • Decline surgery after evaluation by a thoracic surgeon

Required laboratory values within 2 weeks of chemotherapy initiation

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500 mm3
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
  • Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)- aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN}
  • Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)- alanine transaminase(ALT) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Serum Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • For patients assigned to pemetrexed/Cisplatin therapy calculated Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) must be obtained within 2 weeks of randomization and calculated CrCl must be > 45mL/min using the standard Cockcroft and Gault formula

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary lesion size not within the acceptable criteria
  • Evidence of regional metastases or distant metastases following appropriate staging
  • Previous radiation to the chest
  • Chemotherapy within the previous five years
  • Previous surgery for this particular lung tumor
  • Plans for concomitant chemotherapy with radiation
  • Active systemic or pulmonary infection
  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Synchronous primary malignancy or prior malignancy in the past 2 years except for invasive malignancy that has been treated definitively and the patient remains disease free for > 3 years with life expectancy > 3 years. Previous skin cancers and carcinoma in situ treated definitively are acceptable.
  • Patients assigned to pemetrexed/cisplatin therapy must NOT have squamous cell histology
  • Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma is excluded because assessment of multifocal disease spread through the airways is difficult
  • Receipt of any other investigational agents or participation in any other investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding initiation of study treatment
