About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Combined Modality Treatment for Resectable Non-Small Cell Superior Sulcus Tumors

  1. To determine the outcome of patients with potentially resectable superior sulcus tumors of non-small cell histology treated by surgery followed by accelerated radiation therapy and chemotherapy.
  2. To evaluate toxicity, the initial local-regional control rate, sites of and time to local and distant failures.
Read the detailed description

Eligible (surgically resectable and medically operable) patients will have surgery followed by radiation therapy, given twice daily, for 5 weeks if margins are negative and for 5-1/2 weeks for positive margins. Grossly positive margins can be treated by brachytherapy followed by external radiotherapy.

Concomitant chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin given intravenously on days 1 and 8, and etoposide taken by mouth 30-60 minutes prior to each radiotherapy treatment x the first 10 days. The cycle will be repeated start day 29.

If the patients are considered to have no evidence of disease in one month after completion of chemotherapy, optional prophylactic radiotherapy to the brain will be give in 10 fractions once daily for 2 weeks.

What participants receive

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

  • SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Segmentectomy or lobectomy with en bloc resection of the involved chest.

  • Chest IrradiationRadiation

    Also called Radiotherapy

    Radiation therapy consists of 60 Gy in 50 fractions for negative margins, or 64.8 Gy in 54 fractions for positive margins, at 1.2 Gy per fraction, 2 fractions per day, 5 days per week.

  • CisplatinDrug

    Also called Platinol, CDDP

    50 mg/M^2 given intravenously on days 1 and 8; the cycle will be repeated beginning on day 29.

  • EtoposideDrug

    Also called VePesid, VP-16

    given by mouth 30-60 minutes prior to each administration of radiotherapy, on days 1-5 and days 8-12; the cycle will be repeated beginning day 29.

  • Prophylactic Cranial IrradiationRadiation

    Also called PCI

    25 Gy in 10 fractions of 2.5 Gy, 1 fraction per day, will be given at the completion of chest irradiation, and is optional.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rates of Locoregional control (LRC) [Response] Following Surgery and Accelerated Radiation Therapy/Chemotherapy

    Locoregional control (LRC) defined as disease non-recurrence in a localized area for patients with resectable superior sulcus tumors treated with surgical resection followed by adjuvant chemoradiation. LRC measured as percentage of participants without recurrence at rates of local control as measured Years 2, 5, and 10.

    Measured: Assessed from one month after completion of chemotherapy to year 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Surgery, Chest Irradiation and Cisplatin in people with Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 phase mean?

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Rates of Locoregional control (LRC) [Response] Following Surgery and Accelerated Radiation Therapy/Chemotherapy (time frame: Assessed from one month after completion of chemotherapy to year 10). 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 30 Jun 2016.
