Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 120 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer meeting the following criteria:
  • No bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma
  • Maximum T2 or T3 tumor size ≤ 5 cm
  • T3 primary tumor must be limited to chest wall
  • Primary tumor of any T stage must be within or touching the zone of the trachea or proximal bronchial tree, defined as a volume of 2 cm in all directions around the trachea and proximal bronchial tree (carina, right and left main bronchi, right and left upper lobe bronchi, intermedius bronchi, right middle lobe bronchus, right and left lower lobe bronchi)
  • For lesions inferior to the proximal bronchial tree, the primary tumor must be within 2 cm of the esophagus
  • Patients with N1 (hilar) lymph nodes positive for malignancy based on size, fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-PET scan uptake, or biopsy are eligible if the N1 lymph nodes are located such that they are contiguously within the same stereotactic radiation treatment field as the primary tumor
  • Mediastinal lymph nodes must be ≤ 1 cm and no abnormal uptake on FDG-PET scan in those areas

  • No evidence of distant metastases
  • Suspected M1 disease based on pre-treatment PET imaging must be biopsied
  • If the biopsy is positive, the patient is ineligible

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Stage I/II Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Within the Central Lung Region and the Prognostic Impact of FDG Positron Emission Tomography

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the central lung region (peri-mediastinum) in patients with stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer. (Phase I)
  • Determine local control and time to local progression in patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
  • Evaluate the ability of peak standardized uptake values (SUV) for fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG)-PET scan, obtained shortly after SBRT (post-treatment), to predict local control and time to progression in these patients.

Secondary

  • Evaluate the ability of maximum SUV for FDG-PET scan, obtained shortly after SBRT, to predict long-term local control and time to progression in these patients.
  • Evaluate the ability of peak SUV and max SUV for FDG-PET scan, obtained prior to SBRT, to predict local control and time to progression in these patients.
  • Determine the utility of PET/CT scan data in guiding treatment planning.
  • Determine if treatment with radiotherapy involving high biological doses with limited treatment volume using these SBRT techniques achieves acceptable treatment-related toxicity.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II open-label study.

  • Phase I: Patients undergo hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) 3 times within a 2-week time frame.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of hypofractionated SBRT until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Phase II: Patients undergo hypofractionated SBRT at the MTD as in phase I. In both phases, patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18-PET/CT scans at baseline and at 12-16 weeks after completion of SBRT.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 4 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 90 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (Phase I)

  2. Time to progression and local control at 1 and 2 years (Phase II)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of acute and late treatment-related toxicity related to specific symptoms, including gastrointestinal, cardiac, neurologic, hemorrhagic, and pulmonary symptoms

  2. Toxicity

  3. Patterns of failure and overall survival at 2 years

  4. Measurement of pre-treatment and post-treatment PET scan standardized uptake values and correlation of this data with local control at 1 and 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing computed tomography, positron emission tomography and stereotactic body radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum tolerated dose (Phase I). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2017.
