Abscopal Effect of Radiation in Combination With rhGM-CSF for Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Observation of Abscopal Effect of Radiation in Combination With rhGM-CSF for Patients With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether radiation combined with recombined human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF) is safe and effective for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Lung Cancer Metastatic
• Intervention / Treatment: Radiation: Radiotherapy; Drug: rhGM-CSF

Detailed Description

The prognosis of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer was still poor for those unsuitable for target therapy or immunotherapy. This study is to include patients evaluated as effective or stable disease after first-line chemotherapy or progressed after second-line chemotherapy to evaluate the efficacy and safety of receiving radiotherapy combined with recombined human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor(rhGM-CSF).

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Radiotherapy and rhGM-CSF; Patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer received 3.5 Gy per fraction to a total dose of 35 Gy/ 10 fractions over 2 weeks, combined with rhGM-CSF (125 μg/m2).

Radiation: Radiotherapy; One lesion received radiotherapy for 35 Gy in 10 fractions and rested for one week; then another metastatic lesion were treated with radiotherapy for 35 Gy in 10 fractions.; Other Names: radiation; Drug: rhGM-CSF; Patients were injected subcutaneously rhGM-CSF 125mg/m2 per day from day1 to day 14, every three weeks, concurrent with radiotherapy; Other Names: recombinant human GM-CSF
