About this study

Official title: Adaptive Radiotherapy for Stage II-III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The investigators group uses an individualised radiation dose approach in which the dose is escalated up to pre-defined tissue constraints (see below). The target dose to the tumor is 69Gy. However, this dose cannot be reached in approximately 30% of the patients, even with an IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy) technique, because the MLD (Mean Lung Dose) constraint of 20Gy is reached at a TTD (Total Treatment Dose) below 69Gy. In this study, the investigators will adapt the treatment by performing a new (PET)-CT at day 12 during radiotherapy and in case of a decreased Planning Target Volume (PTV), the dose mey be increased.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will receive concurrent chemo-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 concurrent with chemotherapy, radiotherapy will be delivered as follows:

  1. 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.
  2. 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)
  3. cisplatin-vinorelbine
  4. cisplatin-docetaxel
  5. cisplatin-etoposide
  6. cisplatin-pemetrexed in non-squamous histologies

Q3 week; 3 cycles

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

In case the TTD(Total Treatment Dose)=69Gy cannot be reached because of a limiting MLD, a FDG-PET-CT will be performed at day 12 during radiotherapy. GTV's (Gross Tmor Volume), CTV's (Clinical Target Volume) and PTV's (Planning Target Volume) will be delineated and a new plan calculated. The endpoint will be the proportion of patients that will receive 69Gy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radiotherapy and concurrent chemo-therapy in people with 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 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 17 Aug 2018. 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?

Proportion of patients able to receive 69Gy as TTD (time frame: 3 months). 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 17 Aug 2018.
