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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histological or cytological documented NSCLC, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma including large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and poorly differentiated (not otherwise specified - NOS) non-small cell lung cancer. Bronchial alveolar adenocarcinoma and totally resected tumors are excluded. All histology is to be reviewed at East Carolina University or designated participating center.
  • Patients with Stage II-IIIB intra-thoracic disease with oligometastatic disease (hereafter referred to as "Stage IVa" disease) are eligible. Definition of Stage IVa:
  • Metastatic disease; either biopsy proven or with strong radiographic evidence suggesting its existence.
  • As determined by CT, MRI or PET no more than five distinct metastatic sites. All metastatic disease must be anatomically located in such a way as to permit a reasonable attempt at permanent ablation. Ablative measures may include surgery, stereotactic radiosurgery, and external beam therapy. Patients who meet the minimal metastatic disease requirement and who would otherwise have been staged II, IIIA or IIIB.
  • Patients with tumors adjacent to a vertebral body are eligible as long as all gross disease can be encompassed in the radiation boost field.
  • Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age.

  • Patients with Zubrod (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2.
  • Adequate hematologic function defined as: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/mm3, platelets ≥ 75,000/mm3, and hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (prior to transfusions); adequate hepatic function defined as: total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dl, and adequate renal function defined as a serum creatinine level ≤ 2.0 mg/dl.
  • Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) ≥ 800ml.

  • FEV1, CT scan of the chest or whole body PET (preferred), and a CT scan or MRI (preferred) of the brain within 4 weeks prior to study entry.
  • For women of childbearing potential, a serum or urine pregnancy test within a week prior to the start of protocol treatment.
  • Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology consultation and approval.
  • Patients must sign a study-specific consent form prior to study entry.

Who cannot join

  • Prior systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy that would interfere with delivery of treatment as outlined above as judged by the clinician.
  • Cytologically malignant effusions.
  • Metastatic disease beyond what is described in section 3.1.2.
  • Active pulmonary infection not responsive to antimicrobial therapy.
  • History of symptomatic interstitial pneumonitis.
  • Significant symptomatic cardiac disease, i.e., unstable angina, uncompensated congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled cardiac ventricular arrhythmias.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Patients with > grade 2 neuropathy.
  • Evidence of malignancy in the past 2 years except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or other in situ cancers.

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study Treating Patients With Minimal Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Curative Intent

It is the hypothesis of this protocol that a subset of NSCLC patients with stage IVa disease can benefit from curative therapy and extends beyond the very limited subset of oligometastatic patients that have already been studied.

Read the detailed description

In this study, patiently will be aggressively treated with 4 cycles of full dose platinum-based chemotherapy with concurrent radiation therapy to the primary tumor and identified mediastinal lymph nodal metastatic drainage. Local curative radiation will then target the oligometastatic tumor sites.

Being tested
Induction chemotherapy and concurrent radiation, Consolidation: Radiation therapy to metastatic sites

What participants receive

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

  • Induction chemotherapy and concurrent radiationOther

    Cycle 1: irinotecan 65mg/m2 and cisplatin 30 mg/m2 on Day 1 and 8 Q 21 days Cycles 2-4: irinotecan 65 mg/m2, and cisplatin 30 mg/m2 Day 1 and 8 Q 21 days PLUS radiation therapy 66 Gy/7weeks/33 daily fractions

  • Consolidation: Radiation therapy to metastatic sitesOther

    At least 60 Gy total (taking into account a possible 3 Gy x 4 pre-treatment or equivalent) to all metastatic sites. For brain, 2.5 Gy x 14 to whole brain to follow stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Measure time of survival from enrollment to death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months.

    Measured: Anticipated medial survival time is 8 - 10 months, however, all participants will be followed until death, assessed up to 100 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. New metastatic disease

    Measure of time from patient entry to time of new disease or progression of disease or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months.

    Measured: Anticipated time to progression is unknown, however, all patients will be followed for survival, up to 100 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Induction chemotherapy and concurrent radiation and Consolidation: Radiation therapy to metastatic sites in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Leo W. Jenkins 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 19 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2019. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Didn't meet accrual goal, change in standard of care.). Results are not available in the source record.

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: Anticipated medial survival time is 8 - 10 months, however, all participants will be followed until death, assessed up to 100 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 21 Aug 2019.
