Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have pathologic diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), by either histologic biopsy, or cytologic evidence; highly suspicious cytology (i.e. abnormal cells suspicious for malignancy) is acceptable, in the setting of a strongly positive computed tomography (CT)/positron emission tomography (PET) (standardized uptake value [SUV] > 5.0)
  • Patients must be considered appropriate for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT); this is determined on an individualized basis, by the prospective multidisciplinary tumor board, that includes representation from surgical, radiation and medical oncology; criteria for appropriateness for SBRT include all of the following:
  • Stage I/II non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) - no evidence of distant metastases (patients with up to three lung nodules may be considered to have 'multiple primary' lung cancer rather than metastatic lung cancer and thus will be eligible; if a lymph node(s) ≥ 2 cm and/or PET-SUV ≥ 4.0 is identified, biopsy must be performed (and be negative) for the patient to be eligible; patients thought to have M1b disease, or malignant pleural/pericardial effusions are not eligible
  • Staging including CT chest, PET/CT must be up-to-date, i.e. within 6 weeks prior to registration; brain imaging (contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or CT) is suggested for all patients, but is only mandatory for patients with abnormal neurologic exam
  • Tumor size ≤ 7 cm in greatest dimension based upon an up-to-date CT (and/or CT/PET) within 6 weeks prior to enrollment onto the study; radiation therapy treatment planning imaging is acceptable)
  • The patient must not be a candidate for (or declines because of high risk) surgical resection because of medical comorbidity/risk; the patient must have undergone an evaluation by an experienced thoracic surgeon within 12 weeks prior to registration; standard justification criteria may include forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) < 40% predicted; predicted postoperative FEV1 ≤ 30% predicted; diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≤ 60% predicted; pulmonary hypertension (estimated ≥ 40 mm Hg); poor cardiac function (ejection fraction [EF] ≤ 40%); Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scale ≥ 3 (corresponds to inability to walk at least 100 yards without rest); baseline hypoxemia (partial pressure of oxygen [pO2] ≤ 55 mg HG and/or pulse oxygen [ox] < 88%), baseline hypercapnia (carbon dioxide [CO2] ≥ 45 mm Hg; there are also other, less objective criteria, including severe end-organ damage from diabetes/hypertension, severe atherosclerotic disease (heart, brain, aorta, peripheral artery)
Show all 23Show fewer
  • Tumor(s) must be in a location/configuration such that risk of fistula is considered relatively low; this means that there can be no evidence of tumor invasion of a major (lobar/hilar) pulmonary vessel(s), aorta, vena cava, trachea or mainstem bronchus or esophagus; additional studies may be needed to assess this, including CT angiogram, MRI, bronchoscopy, esophagoscopy
  • One or more of the following "risk" criteria for failure with conventional SBRT treatment alone:
  • Peripheral tumor ≥ 4 cm in any dimension
  • Central tumor (i.e. gross tumor within 2 cm of a major bronchus/vessel, or heart/pericardium), including hilar lymph node(s)
  • Multiple tumors (i.e. satellitosis-defined T3-4, or bilateral synchronous primary lung cancer; note that the maximum number of total lesions allowable on this study for treatment with SBRT is 3 (Three), and all lesions must be amenable to SBRT and treated with SBRT on this study; note that it is not necessary for all lesions felt to be malignant to be biopsied
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dl
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mcL
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000 cells/mcL

  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal
  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal, unless bone metastasis is present in the absence of liver metastasis
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (double barrier method of birth control or abstinence) 6 weeks prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation and for 6 months after completing treatment; should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform the treating physician immediately
  • Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

About this study

This pilot clinical trial studies stereotactic body radiation therapy followed by combination chemotherapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers one to five high doses of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue than conventional radiation. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy, followed by carboplatin, and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation may kill more tumor cells and result in a better and more durable response than conventional radiation and chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of this approach prior to larger studies.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the safety/feasibility of delivering chemotherapy after definitive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for selected stage/situations of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the 1-year progression free survival in the sub-population of patients with stage IB/II NSCLC, i.e. the "curative intent" subgroup of patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy every other day for up to 14 days for a total of 5 fractions. After a break period of about 30 days, patients will then start chemotherapy. Patients will receive carboplatin intravenously (IV) over 30-40 minutes on day 1 and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30-40 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Albumin-Stabilized Nanoparticle Formulation in people with Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive 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 23 inclusion and 7 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 1 Feb 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Funding unavailable). 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?

Number of participants with prohibitive dose limiting toxicities (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 1 Feb 2017.
