December 10, 2023 updated by: Hui Liu, Sun Yat-sen University

Fraction Dose Escalation of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy and Subsequent Consolidation Immunotherapy in Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: a Phase 1 Study

This Phase 1 trial aimed to determine the maximum tolerated fraction dose (MTD) of hypofractionated radiotherapy (hypo-RT) combined with concurrent chemotherapy and subsequent consolidation immune checkpoint inhibitors (cICI) for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Split-course adaptive HRT-CHT

In keeping the same total radiation dose (60Gy), we escalate the fraction dose to find the maximum tolerable fraction dose.

  1. Level 1: DT 4500cGy/15 daily fractions/300cGy in the first course,DT 1500cGy/5 daily fractions/300cGy in the second course;
  2. Level 2: DT 4000cGy/10 daily fractions/400cGy in the first course, DT 2000cGy/5 daily fractions/400cGy in the second course;
  3. Level 3: DT 3000cGy/6 daily fractions/500cGy in the first course, DT 3000cGy/6 daily fractions/500cGy in the second course.

RT is delivered using the IMRT technique with daily cone-beam CT image guidance. The dose limitation of organ at risk (OAR) are shown in Table 1. Patients receive a weekly infusion of docetaxel (25mg/m2) and cisplatin (25mg/m2) during RT. Consolidative immunotherapy (PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor) up to 1 year is administered for those without disease progression after HRT-CHT.

Split-course adaptive HRT-CHT is administered at the following three dose levels:

  1. Level 1: DT 4500cGy/15 daily fractions/300cGy in the first course,DT 1500cGy/5 daily fractions/300cGy in the second course;
  2. Level 2: DT 4000cGy/10 daily fractions/400cGy in the first course, DT 2000cGy/5 daily fractions/400cGy in the second course;
  3. Level 3: DT 3000cGy/6 daily fractions/500cGy in the first course, DT 3000cGy/6 daily fractions/500cGy in the second course.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
the maximally tolerated fraction dose
Time Frame: 1 year
The maximum tolerated fraction dose was defined as the highest DL in which <=2 patients of the 6 treated patients experienced G3+ toxicity and <=1 patient experienced G4+ toxicity within 12 months after RT. If a patient had multiple types of toxicities, only the highest grade of toxicity was counted.
