Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Phase II Study of Pemetrexed + Cetuximab + Cisplatin With Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Radiochemotherapy is a standard for the treatment of unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The investigators goal is to study the efficacy and the toxicity for a promising association of new agents (cetuximab and pemetrexed) with concurrent radiotherapy.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: A
Chemoradiotherapy
Pemetrexed 500 mg/m², D1 (D1=D22, 4 cycles) Cisplatin 75 mg/m², D1 (D1=D22, 4 cycles)
The initial dose of cetuximab (ERBITUX) is 400 mg/m² intravenously administered over 120 minutes, followed by 11 weekly infusions at 250 mg/m² IV over 60 minutes
66 Gy (2 Gy by fraction, 5 fractions by week)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease-Control Rate
Time Frame: 16 weeks after inclusion

percentage of patients with disease control (complete response + partial response + stable disease) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions).

16 weeks after inclusion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
18-month Overall Survival Rate
Time Frame: 18 months
Percentage of patient alive 18 months after registration
18 months
Progression Free Survival
Time Frame: 52.3 months (median duration of follow-up)

Progression-free survival is defined as time between date of inclusion and progression or all-cause death.

Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

52.3 months (median duration of follow-up)
