Stereotactic Body Radiation for Consolidation After Standard Chemoradiation for Stage 3 Lung Cancer

July 7, 2020 updated by: Dr Thomas DiPetrillo
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) as consolidation following standard chemoradiation for patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This protocol will investigate the potential role of SBRT for patients with stage 3 NSCLC. Eligible patients will first have received standard 50.4 Gy chemoradiation. Patients entering the study will have the opportunity to receive SBRT as a noninvasive option as compared to surgical resection. For patients who are not surgical candidates, SBRT after 50.4 Gy chemoradiation represents a technique of radiation consolidation that may be more effective and less toxic than standard conventional fractionated radiation

Description

PATIENT ELIGIBILITY Conditions for Patient Eligibility (Inclusion)

  • Pathologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC
  • Stage III NSCLC according to the AJCC 7th edition staging criteria. Stage II (T1-3N1) patient that are deemed medically inoperable are also eligible.
  • Concurrent chemoradiation to a radiation dose of 50.4 Gy.
  • residual tumor volume after concurrent chemoradiation that is appropriate for SBRT:

    • Primary tumor <120cc (approximately 6cm diameter).
    • Mediastinal/Hilar disease: 1-2 involved regions <60cc (approximately 5cmx3cmx3cm)
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/uL, platelet ≥ 60,000/uL.
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 2x upper institutional limit of normal (ULN), and AST or ALT ≤5x ULN.
  • ECOG performance status 0 to 2
  • Minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks.
  • Age older than 18 years.
  • Voluntary, signed written informed consent.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
  • Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 1 months thereafter.

Conditions for Patient Ineligibility (Exclusion)

  • Disease progression during or after standard chemoradiation to 50.4 Gy
  • Prior thoracic radiation other than the pre-operative radiation not greater than 50.4
  • Metastatic disease
  • Uncontrolled severe, intercurrent illness.
  • Women who are breast-feeding.
  • No chemotherapy within 2 weeks from the first SBRT treatment.
  • Concurrent anticancer therapy.
  • Prior complete resection of all NSCLC.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Early and Intermediate Toxicity for Dose Limiting Toxicity
Time Frame: 3 months

Any toxicity related to the radiation treatment will be scored and graded using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. Serious adverse events will be captured from the time the patient signs consent until 12 weeks after the last SBRT.

DLTS: defined in protocol as: Dose limiting toxicities will be defined as grade 3 or greater treatment related pneumonitis, cardiac toxicity, bronchial injury or chest wall pain during or within 4 weeks of completion of SBRT.
