Proton Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in NSCLC Patients Unable to Tolerate Standard Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

30. oktober 2026 opdateret af: QI WEIXIANG,MD, Ruijin Hospital

A Prospective Clinical Study of Proton Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Unable to Tolerate Standard Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if proton moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy works to treat non-small cell lung cancer in adults who cannot tolerate standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy. It will also learn about the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does proton moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy improve the 1-year overall survival rate compared with historical data from similar patients? What medical problems do participants have during and after this treatment? This is a single-arm study, so all participants will receive proton radiotherapy. Researchers will compare results with historical control data, not with a placebo group. Participants will: Receive proton radiotherapy once daily for about 3 to 4 weeks.

Have checkups and tests before treatment, weekly during treatment, and regularly after treatment. Complete follow-up visits for at least 2 years, including imaging, blood tests, lung function tests, and quality-of-life questionnaires.

Beskrivelse

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Provision of written informed consent before any study-specific procedure.
  2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  3. Locally advanced (stage IIIA-IIIC) or oligometastatic NSCLC for which thoracic moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy is planned.
  4. Meets at least one of the following criteria defining inability to tolerate standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy: Frailty/older age: age ≥70 years AND Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥1; OR Moderate or worse pulmonary function impairment: GOLD moderate or worse ventilatory impairment (FEV1/FVC <0.70 AND FEV1 ≤80% predicted) OR DLCO ≤60% predicted; OR Interstitial lung disease/pulmonary fibrosis confirmed by high-resolution chest CT or pathology, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), connective tissue disease-associated ILD (CTD-ILD), and other ILD types, AND clinically stable with no evidence of acute exacerbation within the past 3 months.
  5. Age ≥18 years and ≤ 85 years.
  6. Expected survival >6 months.
  7. Assessed by a multidisciplinary team (including radiation oncology, respiratory medicine, and radiology) as having an indication for radiotherapy and being able to tolerate proton therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Extensive distant metastasis (non-oligometastatic disease, defined as >5 metastatic lesions or >2 involved organs).
  2. Prior thoracic radiotherapy.
  3. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  4. Severe uncontrolled non-neoplastic medical comorbidity (e.g., severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal insufficiency).
  5. History of acute exacerbation of ILD within the past 3 months (confirmed by a respiratory medicine physician).
  6. Active infection or fever.
  7. History of another malignancy within the past 5 years, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or similar cured malignancies.
  8. Any other condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the participant unsuitable for study enrollment.

Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Proton Moderately Hypofractionated Radiotherapy

All participants will receive thoracic proton moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy as a single-arm intervention. The standard regimen is 54 GyE in 18 fractions (3 GyE per fraction). For patients who cannot meet normal-tissue dose constraints or are at very high risk, prespecified de-escalation to 51 GyE/17 fractions or 48 GyE/16 fractions is permitted; doses below 48 GyE/16 fractions require study withdrawal. Treatment planning prioritizes target coverage (Clinical target volume, CTV V95 ≥95%, Gross tumor volume, GTV V100 ≥100%) while respecting standard organ-at-risk constraints, lymphocyte-sparing organ constraints, and additional esophageal sparing where feasible. Patients with interstitial lung disease receive stricter lung dose limits. No placebo or comparator intervention is administered; outcomes will be compared with historical control data.

Thoracic intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) delivered as moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy. The standard prescription is 54 GyE in 18 fractions (3 GyE per fraction), with protocol-defined de-escalation to 51 GyE/17 fractions or 48 GyE/16 fractions for patients who cannot meet normal-tissue constraints or are at very high risk; doses below 48 GyE/16 fractions are not permitted. This intervention is distinguished from standard photon concurrent chemoradiotherapy by the use of proton therapy, omission of concurrent chemotherapy, a shorter 3-4 week course, and prespecified planning priorities that include target coverage, standard organ-at-risk limits, lymphocyte-sparing organ constraints, and optional esophageal sparing. Patients with interstitial lung disease receive stricter lung dose constraints. IMPT plans are robustly optimized for 3.5% range uncertainty and 3 mm setup uncertainty. No placebo or comparator is

IPD-planbeskrivelse

This is a small, single-arm, investigator-initiated trial in a rare high-risk population; the informed consent and ethics approval cover only aggregate reporting, and the limited number of participants creates a meaningful risk of re-identification. Only de-identified aggregate results will be reported.
