About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Local Consolidative Radiotherapy Versus Standard of Care Second Line Systemic Therapy in Patients With Oligoprogressive NSCLC on Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

This is a randomized phase II study designed to evaluate the effect of local consolidative radiation therapy (LCT) to all sites of oligoprogressive disease in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma who have progressed through first line systemic therapy containing an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI).

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective: To compare overall survival (OS) from the time of the time of randomization between the treatment and control groups.

Secondary Objective(s)

  • To compare the extra-CNS PFS2 (EC-PFS2), defined as the time to extracranial disease progression on second line systemic therapy or death from the first day of local consolidative radiation therapy (treatment group) or from the start of second line therapy (control group).
  • To evaluate time to initiation of second line systemic therapy or palliative care after completion of local consolidative therapy in the treatment group
  • To compare the toxicities in the treatment and control groups;
  • To compare overall progression free survival from the time of the first day of local consolidative radiation therapy for the treatment group and from the start of second line therapy for the control group
  • To compare the pattern of next progression on second line therapy in the treatment group vs the control group.
  • To evaluate local progression in lesions treated with local consolidative radiation therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Local consolidative radiation therapyRadiation

    All local consolidative radiation therapy should be delivered using hypofractionated local consolidative radiation therapy (>2 Gy per fraction). Exceptions may be approved on a case by case basis by the trial principal investigator. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and proton beam therapy (PBT) are all acceptable.

  • Standard of care radiation therapyDrug

    Standard of care palliative radiotherapy to symptomatic lesions is permissible. The dose to symptomatic lesions should not exceed 30 Gy in 10 fractions. Brain metastases will be treated with standard of care CNS therapy throughout the study. This may include (but is not limited to) stereotactic radiosurgery, neurosurgical intervention, whole brain radiotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    In each arm overall survival will be defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. . Patients who are alive at the last follow up at the end of the study will be censored at the date of the last follow up appointment. A comparison of overall survival between the two groups will be made first using bivariate Kaplan-Meier method and then a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Participants who do not die during the course of observation will be right censored. Key covariates to be included in multivariable modeling include age, ECOG status, number of progressive treated sites (1 vs 2-4), and PD-L1 status (>=50%; 1%-49%; < 1%).

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to Progression Between Both Arms

    Investigators will compare progression after second line of therapy between both arms first using the bivariate Kaplan-Meier method and then a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model age, ECOG status, number of progressive treated sites (1 vs 2-4), and PD-L1 status (>=50%; 1%-49%; < 1%). RECIST version 1.1 criteria will be used to assess for progression.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Time to Second Line of Systemic Therapy or Palliative Care (Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy Arm Only)

    The time to the second line systemic therapy or palliative care will be defined as the time from the completion of local consolidation therapy to the first day of cycle 1 of a systemic therapy the patient has not yet received OR the date of hospice enrollment, whichever is sooner. Patients experiencing neither of these events will be censored at last follow up visit. Estimated median time to second line therapy (or palliative care) and corresponding 95% confidence interval as well as estimated proportion (and corresponding 95% confidence interval) of the treatment group who have started second-line therapy (or palliative care) by key time points including 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after the end of local consolidative therapy.

    Measured: Up to 2 years after the completion of intervention

  3. Incidences of Toxicities

    Toxicities will be evaluated per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicities between the two arms by comparing the proportions with grade 2 or higher, and grade 3 or higher, toxicities of any type at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months following randomization using a chi-square test on the relevant 2x2 contingency table.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  4. Progression Free Survival

    Progression free survival will be assessed by a modified RECIST version 1.1 criteria. If any individual target lesion meets RECIST v1.1 criteria - specifically an increase in the longest diameter (shortest diameter for lymph node lesions) of at least 20% and 5 mm absolute increase, the patient will be considered to have progression of disease. The criteria for determining pseudoprogression versus true progression and for mild progression while systemic therapy is held for the delivery of local consolidative radiation therapy in the treatment arm will be used for this outcome measure as well. Repeat oligoprogression will also be counted as progressive disease.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  5. Time to Next Progression Following Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy or Second Line Systemic Therapy

    The pattern of next progression following local consolidation therapy (in treatment group) or second line systemic therapy (in control group) into one of three possible mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories: No progression, repeat oligoprogression or polyprogression, and will compare these patterns between the two groups using a chi-square analysis on the resulting 2x3 contingency table.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  6. Proportion of Local of Lesions Treated with Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy That Progress

    Investigators will estimate proportion of lesions treated with local consolidative radiation therapy that experienced local progression (yes/no by study end) and construct a 95% confidence interval around this estimate.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Local consolidative radiation therapy in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Oligoprogressive, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences.

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 16 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 3 years). 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 17 Apr 2025.
