Radiation Therapy to Relieve Symptoms in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

March 25, 2024 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

PROMISE 006: A Phase I Study of up to 3 Cycles of Cyclical Hypofractionated Palliative Radiation (Quad Shot) for Lung Tumors in Patients With Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

This study will test the safety of Quad Shot radiation therapy using 2 different treatment schedules to find out what effects, if any, this treatment has on people with advanced NSCLC who are receiving systemic therapy for their cancer. The Quad Shot treatment schedule reduces the number of days needed to deliver the radiation treatments, which may be less disruptive to systemic therapy schedules.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Quad Shot Radiation
In this trial, patients with centrally located lung tumors will be treated with up to 3 cycles of Quad Shot Radiation. Radiation treatment will be given within 1 week of administration of chemotherapy. Quad Shot radiation will involve: 3.7 Gy twice daily x 2 days for a total dose of 14.8 Gy per cycle. The next cycle will occur after a 21-28 day break. The first group of patients will be treated with 2 cycles of quad shot radiation, followed by a 3-month observation period post-RT to allow a complete evaluation of acute toxicity. The next group of patients will be treated with either 1 cycle or 3 cycles of quad shot radiation. The minimum accrual is 4 patients with an expected accrual of 16 patients. Twenty additional patients will be recruited to an expansion cohort.
3.7 Gy twice daily x 2 days for a total dose of 14.8 Gy per cycle. The next cycle will occur after a 21-28 day break.
at baseline, each cycle of Quad Shot, and at 3 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after last cycle of Quad Shot.
