July 22, 2014 updated by: Zhejiang Cancer Hospital

Phase II Study of Icotinib Combined With Whole Brain Radiotherapy in Treating Patients With Brain Metastases From Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and toxicity of icotinib combined with WBRT in treating patients with multiple brain metastases from NSCLC.

Detailed Description

Brain metastases occur in 25-40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is one of the primary reasons resulting in treatment failure and the death. Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) is the standard approach to the treatment of multiple brain metastases from NSCLC. Regardless of the treatment of brain metastases by WBRT combined with systemic chemotherapy,outcomes of NSCLC with brain metastases are still very poor. Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) can pass through the blood-brain barrier and show promising antitumor activity against brain metastases from NSCLC. Icotinib shows nearly the same effect as gefitinib in advanced NSCLC patients failed with chemotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Icotinib plus Whole Brain Radiotherapy
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as gefitinib and erlotinib, have shown efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases (BM). Icotinib is a new first generation EGFR-TKI. We conducted a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of icotinib in combination with whole brain radiotherapy （WBRT） in Chinese NSCLC patients with BM and investigated the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)/ plasma concentrations of icotinib.
Drug: Icotinib
Patients will receive whole brain radiotherapy therapy 30Gy over 10 fractions and icotinib will be administered at the beginning of whole brain radiotherapy in doses of 125 mg thrice per day until disease progression or undue toxicity.
