Purpose
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the dose of radiation to the tumor but not the surrounding healthy tissue could be increased by using intensity-modulated photon therapy (IMRT) or intensity-modulated proton beam therapy (IMPT).
In Phase I of the study, researchers want to find the highest tolerable dose of IMPT or IMRT that can be given to the tumor.
In Phase II, researchers want to learn if IMPT can help to control the disease compared with standard proton therapy when both are combined with standard chemotherapy. Participants will also receive standard chemotherapy. Proton therapy and photon therapy are types of radiation therapy that are designed to use a beam of proton or photon particles (similar to getting an x-ray) to send radiation inside the body to the tumor.
In IMPT and IMRT, the amount or strength of the protons or photons will be adjusted according to the size, shape, and thickness of the tumor. In this study, the tumor will receive a higher dose by adjusting the energy and scanning time of the protons or photons, which is called simultaneous integrated boost (SIB). The treatment will be done with image guidance. This newer type of radiation is designed to give a higher than standard dose of treatment to the tumor. It is also designed to focus the treatment on the tumor to avoid affecting the healthy tissue around the tumor as much as standard treatments.

| Official Title: | Phase I/II Trial of Image-Guided, Intensity-Modulated Photon (IMRT) or Scanning Beam Proton Therapy (IMPT) Both With Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) Dose Escalation to the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) With Concurrent Chemotherapy for Stage II/III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) |
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Image-Guided Intensity-Modulated Photon (IMRT) and Proton Therapy (IMPT) [ Time Frame: 90 days from start of radiation therapy ]Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as maximum dose at which no more than 30% of patients have acute radiation dose limiting toxicity (DLT), acute radiation toxicity 90 days from day 1 of radiation treatment in regions at risk (including but not limited to lung, esophagus, brachial plexus, or heart) that is definitely or probably related to radiation treatment.
- Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Local tumor progression defined as tumor recurrence or progression inside or at the boundary of the volume defined by the 60 Gy(RBE) isodose line.

Experimental: IMPT + SIB + Chemotherapy
Phase I Starting IMPT Dose: 60 Gy (RBE) in 30 fractions. Phase I Starting SIB Dose: (72 - 84) Gy (RBE). Fractions given once a day, 5 times a week for six weeks. All patients receive standard concurrent chemotherapy as prescribed by their treating medical oncologist. Symptom questionnaire completion before chemoradiation beings, each week during chemoradiation, each week until 16 weeks after chemoradiation is complete, every other week from Week 16 until 12 weeks after chemoradiation is complete, and at follow-up visits. Dose level 1 of 66-72 Gy(RBE) in 30 fractions used as the planned dose in the Phase II portion of the trial. |
Radiation: IMPT + SIB + Chemotherapy
Phase I Starting Dose: For all SIBVi dose levels, the dose to the PTV will be kept constant at 60 Gy(RBE) in 30 fractions, which is biologically equivalent to 67 Gy(RBE) delivered in 2 Gy(RBE) fractions. We will start the SIB at the lowest dose level to SIBVi to 72 Gy(RBE) (SIBV72) in 30 fractions at 2.4 Gy per fraction. Fractions given once a day, 5 times a week for six weeks. All patients will receive standard concurrent chemotherapy as prescribed by their treating medical oncologist. Dose level 1 of 66-72 Gy(RBE) in 30 fractions used as the planned dose in the Phase II portion of the trial. Other Names:
Behavioral: Questionnaire
Symptom questionnaire completion before chemoradiation beings, each week during chemoradiation, each week until 16 weeks after chemoradiation is complete, every other week from Week 16 until 12 weeks after chemoradiation is complete, and at follow-up visits. The symptom questionnaire should take about 10 minutes to complete each time.
