A Multicenter Phase II Study of Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Centrally Located Lung Tumors (STRICT-LUNG STUDY) and Ultra-centrally Located Lung Tumors (STAR-LUNG STUDY). (STRICTSTARLUNG)

March 1, 2023 updated by: Mette Pøhl, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy In Centrally Located Lung and Ultra-centrally Located Tumors in the Lung. STRICT-LUNG & STAR-LUNG STUDY

An open-label phase II study, investigating toxicity, treatment efficacy and the local tumor control rate in 69 patients with centrally located tumors and in 69 patients with ultra-centrally located tumors in the lung. Treatment and patient outcomes will be recorded. Centrally located tumors are treated on standard-linacs with daily CBCT image-guidance and plan adaptation. Ultra-centrally tumors are treated on MR-linacs with daily MR-guided plan-adaptation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The STRICT-LUNG study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of daily image-guided SBRT in centrally located lung tumors (primary, oligo-metastatic or oligo-progressive). The STAR-LUNG study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of daily adaptive MR-linac based SBRT in ultra-centrally located lung tumors (primary, oligo-metastatic or oligo-progressive).

The tumor is considered central when the tumor is located within 0.5 -2.5 cm in all directions of the PBT or the esophagus. The PBT includes trachea, main bronchi and intermediate bronchus and 5 lobar bronchi. In addition, the tumor is also considered central, if it is located <0.5 cm from the spinal cord, heart and aorta.

Ultra-centrally located tumors are tumors located within the 0.0 to 0.5 cm zone of trachea, main bronchi or intermediate bronchus. The patient will be excluded if the tumor invades the trachea, bronchi, esophagus, or pericardium/heart (radiological or by bronchoscopy assessment).

The main purposes are to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiation to centrally and ultra-centrally located tumors, including treatment related adverse events, quality of life (QoL) assessments, local tumor control rate, disease free survival, and overall survival and facilitate future stratification of this patient group for definitive treatment.

Treatment related adverse events (TRAE) will be registered at baseline, end of treatment, 4-6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 months after treatment, and hereafter every year until 10th year of follow-up.

Enrolment in both trial categories may continue until the required numbers in both groups have been reached.

Experimental: STRICT LUNG
Central Tumors in the Lung The tumor is considered central when the tumor is located within 0.5 -2.5 cm in all directions of the PBT or the esophagus. The PBT includes trachea, main bronchi and intermediate bronchus and 5 lobar bronchi. In addition, the tumor is also considered central, if it is located <0.5 cm from the spinal cord, heart and aorta.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy: Centrally located tumors are treated on standard-linacs with daily CBCT image-guidance and plan adaptation.
Other Names:
  • Stereotactic radiotherapy for centrally located lung tumors
Experimental: STAR LUNG
Ultra-Centrally Tumors in the Lung Ultra-centrally located tumors are tumors located within the 0.0 to 0.5 cm zone of trachea, main bronchi or intermediate bronchus. The patient will be excluded if the tumor invades the trachea, bronchi, esophagus, or pericardium/heart (radiological or by bronchoscopy assessment).
Stereotactic body radiation therapy: Ultra-centrally tumors are treated on MR-linacs with daily MR-guided plan-adaptation.
