Study Description

Brief Summary:
A randomized phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of selective metabolically adaptive radiation dose escalation in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer receiving definitive chemoradiotherapy. Eligible and consenting patients will be randomized to receive conventional chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy with a radiation (RT) integrated boost. All patients will receive a fludeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan within two weeks prior to starting treatment. The primary outcome is to determine if dose escalation to metabolically active tumor subvolumes will reduce local-regional failure rate at 2 years.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Chemoradiotherapy
Patients randomized to the standard arm will receive radiotherapy (5x per week) of 60 gray (Gy) in 30 fractions with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide chemotherapy.
 Radiation: Chemoradiotherapy
Patients will receive radiotherapy of 60Gy in 30 fractions (5x per week) with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide chemotherapy.
Experimental: Chemoradiotherapy with Integrated Boost Dose
Patients randomized to the experimental arm will receive radiotherapy (5x per week) with an integrated boost dose of up to 85Gy in 30 fractions to tumor subvolumes, with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide chemotherapy.
 Radiation: Chemoradiotherapy with Integrated Boost Dose
Patients will receive an RT integrated boost to tumor subvolumes (max boost dose of 85Gy) in 30 fractions (5x per week) with concurrent cisplatin and etoposide chemotherapy.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Reduction of local-regional failure rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Primary outcome of the trial is to determine if dose escalation to metabolically active subvolumes will reduce local-regional failure rate


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Determine if dose escalation to metabolically active subvolumes will improve progression-free survival at 2 years

  2. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Determine if dose escalation to metabolically active subvolumes will improve overall survival at 2 years

  3. Grade 3-5 Toxicity Rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Determine if dose escalation to metabolically active subvolumes will increase the rate of grade 3-5 toxicities

  4. Quality of Life FACT-L [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Compare the quality of life in the two arms using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) instrument

  5. Quality of Life EQ-5D [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Compare the quality of life in the two arms using EuroQol Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) instrument

  6. Dose-Response Characterization [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Characterize the tumor dose-response relationship in the experimental arm and create a tumor control probability model for local-regional failure at 2 years

  7. Dose Escalation Feasibility [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]
    Explore the feasibility of adaptive dose escalation based on PET response at week 2

  8. Imaging Use [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Explore the use of Week 0 and Week 2 PET images for prognostication and response assessment for local-regional failure at 2 years
