About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) After TEMLA With or Without Minimally Invasive Surgery for Stage III and Stage IV (Oligometastatic) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies stereotactic body radiation therapy after surgery in treating patients with stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Lymphadenectomy may remove tumor cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy after lymphadenectomy may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the feasibility/toxicity of combining transcervical extended mediastinal lymphadenectomy (TEMLA) with or without video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess time to initiation of chemotherapy following TEMLA with or without video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS)and SBRT.

II. To assess feasibility/toxicity of combining TEMLA with or without VATS and SBRT with various chemotherapy regimens (to be determined by medical oncologist based on patient and tumor characteristics).

III. To estimate survival following TEMLA with or without VATS and SBRT. IV. To define any differences in quality of life/toxicity following TEMLA with or without VATS and SBRT based on tumor location (peripheral/central).

  1. To assess response for primary tumor control and overall survival in TEMLA only patients.

VI. To assess progression free survival for TEMLA with or without (VATS) patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo TEMLA to remove the mediastinal lymph nodes followed by a single fraction of SBRT to the primary tumor (unless VATS procedure done) and mediastinal lymph node beds (if positive on TEMLA), with or without VATS.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6,9, and 12 months, every 6 months for 2 years and annually for 2 years.

therapeutic lymphadenectomy (TEMLA) and Stereotactic Body radiation therapy (SBRT), quality-of-life assessment

What is being measured

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

  1. Portion of patients with grade 3 or greater toxicity assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4

    Toxicity rates will be presented with Clopper-Pearson 90% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time until chemotherapy

    A 90% confidence interval will be presented.

    Measured: From the date of SBRT completion until the date of chemotherapy initiation, assessed up to 5 years

  2. Incidence of toxicity associated with combining TEMLA with or without minimally invasive surgery stratified by chemotherapy regimens

    Exact 90% confidence intervals will be obtained for each unique chemotherapy regimen. Will be compared at each time-point between tumor locations using the Fisher's exact test.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Overall survival

    Will be described using standard Kaplan-Meier methodologies. The median survival time, 3-year survival rate, and 5-year survival rate and will be estimated and presented with 90% confidence intervals.

    Measured: From SBRT completion until death, assessed up to 5 years

  4. Quality of life (QoL) scores from European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 and EORTC QLQ Lung Cancer-Specific Module

    Will be compared with cumulative toxicity rates at each time-point between tumor locations using the Mann-Whitney U test. Comparisons of QoL scores between time-points will be made using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing therapeutic lymphadenectomy (TEMLA) and Stereotactic Body radiation therapy (SBRT) and quality-of-life assessment in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 6 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 22 Jul 2022. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Portion of patients with grade 3 or greater toxicity assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4 (time frame: Up to 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01781741, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Jul 2022.
