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

  • Pathologically proven diagnosis of Stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Stage IIIA subjects who are considered eligible for resection following neoadjuvant chemoradiation are eligible for this study.
  • No PET/CT evidence of metastatic disease.
  • An MRI of the brain with contrast excluding intracranial metastatic disease (or CT with contrast if MRI is medically contraindicated). An MRI without contrast is only permitted if the subject cannot have contrast for medical reasons.
  • If a pleural effusion is present, it must be tapped and confirmed to be cytologically negative. If an effusion is deemed too small to safely tap, the subject will be eligible.
  • Subjects must have measurable or evaluable disease.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • No prior thoracic radiotherapy.
  • Age > 18 years at time of registration.
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0-2 (Karnofsky performance scale ≥ 60).
  • Hgb > 9 g/dL; ANC (absolute neutrophil count) > 1500/µl; platelets > 100,000 mcL.
  • Subjects must sign study-specific informed consent form prior to registration.
  • Radiation therapy and chemotherapy must start within 4 weeks of study enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Evidence of severe or uncontrolled psychiatric or systemic disease (e.g., unstable or uncompensated respiratory, cardiac, hepatic, or renal disease) that would interfere with study protocol as judged by the investigator.
  • Active connective tissue disorders, such as active lupus or scleroderma.
  • Known Acquired Immune Deficiency (HIV (+)/AIDS).
  • Subjects must not be pregnant or nursing due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regiment to harm nursing infants. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use medically approved and adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Utilizing 2.5 Gy/Fraction to PET-avid Disease Combined With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel for Subjects With Stage IIIA or IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Single center, single arm, Phase II study designed to evaluate the feasibility of hypofractionated IMRT to 62.5 Gy in 25 fractions (2.5 Gy/fraction) with 4D PET/CT-based radiation treatment planning and concurrent carboplatin and paclitaxel in Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB NSCLC subjects.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to evaluate the feasibility of hypofractionated IMRT to 62.5 Gy in 25 fractions (2.5 Gy/fraction) with 4D PET/CT-based radiation treatment planning and concurrent carboplatin and paclitaxel in Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB NSCLC subjects.

Hypofractionated IMRT allows escalation of the biological effective dose (BED) to the tumor and reduces the radiation treatment duration to 5 weeks. Increasing the BED without protracting the RT course may be a more effective means of dose escalation than simply increasing the total dose but using only 2 Gy/fraction, as was tested in RTOG 0617.

Investigators require the use of advanced treatment planning techniques, including 4D CT simulation, volume delineation utilizing PET/CT to identify gross disease and IMRT to minimize the total volume of normal tissue receiving a high dose of radiation.

As minimal published work has evaluated hypofractionated RT regimens for Stage III NSCLC with concurrent chemotherapy, investigators selected a moderately escalated dose/fraction of 2.5 Gy for evaluation in combination with concurrent carboplatin and paclitaxel.

  • CarboplatinDrug

    The doses of chemotherapy to be given concurrently with conformal radiotherapy will be weekly paclitaxel (45 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC=2), respectively.

    Consolidation chemotherapy with 2 cycles of carboplatin (AUC=6) and paclitaxel (200 mg/m2) should be administered following completion of concurrent chemoradiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute and late toxicities assessed based on the common toxicity criteria for adverse events version 3.0 (CTCAEv5.0)

    Acute toxicities (toxicity during and within 90 days of radiation therapy) and delayed toxicities will be measured using CTCAE criteria, version 5.0. Acute toxicities are defined as those toxicities occurring during and within 90 days from the completion of radiotherapy and delayed toxicities are those that develop at least 90 days after the last dose of radiation

    Measured: During and within 90 days of radiation therapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival will be measured from the last day of radiation treatment until evidence of local or distant disease progression.

    Measured: year 0 - year 2

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival will be measured from the last day of radiation treatment until death.

    Measured: year 0 - year 5

  3. Local control

    Assessment of local control after treatment with radiotherapy combined with Carboplatin and Placlitaxel

    Measured: year 0 - year 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 2.5 Gy/fraction, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Stephanie Smiddy 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 12 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2020. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Acute and late toxicities assessed based on the common toxicity criteria for adverse events version 3.0 (CTCAEv5.0) (time frame: During and within 90 days of radiation therapy). 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 5 Nov 2020.
