Phase II Randomized Study on Locally Advanced NSCLC Escalated Dose on Individual Basis Treatment With Radiochemotherapy (PLANET)

December 8, 2014 updated by: Ass. Prof. Jan Nyman

Phase II Randomized Study on Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Escalated Dose on Individual Basis Treatment With Radiochemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to examine the valu of individually dose escalated radiotherapy compared with a standard dose of radiotherapy combined with standard concomitant chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (stage III) with good performance status.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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 is an open label, multicentre phase II trial of individually escalated radiotherapy up to 84 Gy due to normal tissue dose constraints combined with standard concurrent chemotherapy (cisplatin-vinorelbine) compared to standard dose radiotherapy (68 Gy) combined with the same chemotherapy. There are restrictions due to lung function, performance status and pre-treatment weight loss. The main endpoint is progression free survival and additional endpoints are local control, overall survival, toxicity quality of life and relapse pattern.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Active Comparator: Arm A:Standard radiochemotherapy
Radiotherapy with 2 Gy per fractions 5 fractions a week to 68 Gy to the planning target volume. Three courses of cisplatin 75 mg/m2 day 1and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 day 1+8. Two courses concomitant with radiation.
Radiation: Standard radiochemotherapy to 68 Gy
Experimental: Arm B Escalated radiochemotherapy
Radiotherapy with 2 Gy per fraction 5 or 6 times a week to 68-84 Gy to the planning target volume due to normal tissue tolerance constraints. Dose to lung tissue, esophagus and spinal cord will be considered. Three courses of cisplatin 75 mg/m2 day 1 and vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 day 1+8 will be given, two courses concomitant with radiation.
Radiation: Dose escalated radiochemotherapy up to 84 Gy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Progression free survival
Time Frame: 36 monts after randomization
36 monts after randomization

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
