Trial summary

Our group has shown that increasing the radiation dose to pre-specified normal tissue dose constraints could lead to increased TCP with the same NTCP in patients with non-concurrent and concurrent chemo-radiation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Concurrent and Non-concurrent Chemo-radiotherapy or Radiotherapy Alone With IMRT for Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer to an Individualised MLD

Our group has shown that increasing the radiation dose to pre-specified normal tissue dose constraints could lead to increased TCP with the same NTCP in patients with non-concurrent and concurrent chemo-radiation. Here, the investigators want to investigate its efficacy in a prospective study in patients with stage I-III NSCLC, who are selected for high-dose radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy, but treated with IMRT. The latter technique has become standard, but the patterns of recurrence and the possibility for dose-escalation in an individualised setting have never been investigated properly.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients (see below) will receive radiotherapy to the primary tumor and the initially involved mediastinal lymph nodes to an MLD (Mean Lung Dose) of 20 +/-1Gy, irrespective of lung function.

Other dose-constraints: spinal cord max: 54Gy, brachial plexus (Dmax):66Gy

In concurrence with chemotherapy, radiotherapy will be delivered as follows:

  • First three weeks/30 fractions: twice-daily fractions of 1.5Gy, with 8h to 10h as interfraction interval, 5 days per week. Total dose: 45Gy/30 fractions
  • Thereafter: once daily fractions of 2.0Gy, 5 days per week until the target dose has been reached.

In sequential or radiotherapy alone schedules, twice-daily 1.8Gy with an interfraction interval of at least 8h will be delivered.

The radiation doses will be specified according to ICRU 50. Lung density corrections will be applied, as well as all standard QA procedures. Technical requirements are the same as in standard practice at MAASTRO clinic

Chemotherapy schedules allowed:

  1. 1-2 cycles induction chemotherapy: any third generation schedule is allowed. The type will be registered.
  2. Concurrent part: (day 1 = first day of radiotherapy)
  • cisplatin - vinorelbine
  • cisplatin - docetaxel
  • cisplatin - etoposide
  • cisplatin - pemetrexed in non-squamous histologies Q 3 weeks; 3 cycles

When the calculated creatinin clearance is less than 60ml/min, cisplatin may be substituted for carboplatin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radiotherapy in people with Stage I-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Maastricht Radiation Oncology at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 23 May 2017. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Overall survival (time frame: 2.3 and 5 years). 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 23 May 2017.
