Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Versus Conventional Radiotherapy in Medically-Inoperable Non-Small Lung Cancer Patients (LUSTRE)

September 19, 2022 updated by: Ontario Clinical Oncology Group (OCOG)

A Randomized Trial of Medically-Inoperable Stage 1 Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Comparing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Versus Conventional Radiotherapy

A multi-centre randomized controlled open-label trial in medically inoperable patients with biopsy-proven early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Eligible and consenting patients will be randomly allocated to receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) or conventional radiotherapy (CRT) in a 2:1 ratio. Radiotherapy will be administered as soon as possible following randomization and subjects will be followed for 5 years post-randomization for cancer recurrence, toxicity and survival. The primary outcome is local control (LC). The trial will be conducted at 16-20 clinical centres throughout Canada.

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.

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:

  1. T1/T2a N0 M0 NSCLC, either by: (a) histological confirmation (squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, or not specified) and CT thorax and/or PET-CT evidence, or (b) a suspicious growing nodule on serial CT imaging, with malignant PET Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) avidity, for which a biopsy would be extremely risky.
  2. Deemed medically inoperable (as reviewed by a thoracic surgeon and defined as surgically resectable but, because of underlying physiological medical problems [e.g. chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease], surgery is contraindicated) or Radiotherapy is preferred by the patient due to high operable risk.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Less than 18 years of age.
  2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 3 or higher.
  3. Prior invasive malignancy within the past 3 years (excluding non-melanomatous skin cancer).
  4. History of ataxia telangiectasia.
  5. Previous radiotherapy (RT) in the vicinity of the tumour, such that significant overlap could occur.
  6. Previous pneumonectomy with Stage I lung cancer in the remaining lung.
  7. Diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and/or interstitial lung disease.
  8. Planned for other anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, biological targeted therapy).
  9. Female, who is currently pregnant or lactating.
  10. Geographic inaccessibility for follow-up.
  11. Unable to provide informed consent.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Local Control
Time Frame: 5 years
Local control is the absence of local recurrence during the study period. This is the time from randomization to primary tumour failure or marginal failure.
5 years

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival
Time Frame: 5 years
Overall Survival is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Alive subjects will be censored on the date of last follow-up.
5 years
Disease-Free Survival
Time Frame: 5 years
Disease-Free Survival is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest recurrence of disease or to death attributed to lung cancer.
5 years
Event-Free Survival

Radiation Treatment-Related Death
Time Frame: 1 to 12 months
Radiation Treatment-Related Death is defined as death occurring between 1 to 12 months following treatment, and caused directly by radiation toxicity attributed to either catastrophic hemorrhage or to severe radiation pneumonitis leading to death
1 to 12 months
Toxicity
