About this study

This Phase II study is to determine the efficacy of split-course thoracic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with or without consolidation immunotherapy for patients with local advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

This Phase II study is to determine the efficacy of split-course thoracic radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy with or without consolidation immunotherapy for local advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Patients were treated with hypo-RT (30Gy in 6 fractions) followed by hypo-boost (30Gy in 6 fractions) combined with concurrent weekly chemotherapy (docetaxel 25 mg/m2 and cisplatin 25 mg/m2). Consolidation immunotherapy were recommended for those without disease progression or persistent grade2+ toxicities following radiotherapy. The primary end point is progression-free survival, which is the time that passes from the first day of radiotherapy to the date at which disease progresses. Progression-free survival will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Toxicities will be graded according to CTCAE v. 5.0.

What participants receive

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

  • split-course radiotherapyRadiation

    The radiotherapy is delivered using simultaneous integrated boost (SIB)-intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). The dose of 30Gy with a fraction dose of 5Gy was delivered to PTV-GTV as the hypo-RT course. Patients were eligible to receive the hypo-boost when there was no disease progression and no persistent ≥G2 treatment-related toxicities. For patients with persistent ≥G2 toxicities, a re-evaluation was planned every 2 weeks to determine whether they were qualified to receive the hypoboost. All eligible patients underwent a repeat 4DCT simulation scan to reformulate the adaptive radiation therapy plan. The adaptive plan of the hypo-boost was delivered to the residual tumor (PTV-GTV-residual) at a dose of 30Gy in 6 fractions (5 Gy per fraction).

  • concurrent chemotherapyDrug

    Patients received a weekly infusion of docetaxel (25 mg/m2) and cisplatin (25 mg/m2) concurrent with hypo-RT and hypo-boost therapy. Intended chemotherapy included 4 cycles throughout the course of treatment.

  • consolidation immunotherapyDrug

    Patients without disease progression or persistent grade2+ toxicities after thoracic radiotherapy were recommended to receive consolidation immunotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing split-course radiotherapy, concurrent chemotherapy and consolidation immunotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2024. 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 China. 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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: 2 year). 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 NCT04212052, which also lists 48 linked publications.

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 15 Mar 2024.
