High Dose Radiation Therapy With Concurrent Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Not Applicable
Conditions
Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03598517
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

To assess the efficacy and feasibility of high-dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concurrent weekly paclitaxel and cisplatin for patients with locoregionally advanced non-small lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Local failure remains high in patients with locoregionally advanced non-small lung cancer. Given that a biological equivalent dose (BED)more than 100 Gy yields approximately a local control rate of 90% in early-stage non-small lung cancer, this BED or ever higher is logically required to control local disease for locally advanced non-small lung cancer. However, dose escalation is limited by radiation-related toxicity. Use of hyperfractionated radiation Therapy boost to residual metabolic disease as defined by positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) immediately after standard chemoradiotherapy (SCRT) using image-guided (IG) IMRT could potentially improve local control and perhaps survival

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients must have FDG-avid and histologically or cytologically proven non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Age 1 8-75.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 2.
  • Stage III ( American Joint Committee on Cancer AJCC, 7th ed.).
  • No prior radiation to the thorax that would overlap with the current treatment field.
  • Adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic functions as assessed by the following: Hemoglobin >/= 10.0 g/dl, Platelet count >/= 1 00,000/ mm^3,absolute granulocyte count (AGC) ≥2 × 10^9 cells/L,bilirubin and Aspartate transaminase ≤1.5 ×upper limit of normal (ULN), Creatinine </ =1 .5 times ULN.
  • A signed informed consent must be obtained prior to therapy.
  • Induction chemotherapy is allowed.
  • Life expectancy more than 3 months
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with any component of small cell lung carcinoma are excluded from this study.
  • Patients with evidence of a malignant pleural or pericardial effusion are excluded.
  • Prior radiotherapy that would overlap the radiation fields.
  • Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) exacerbation or other respiratory illness, serious uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF),unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled hypertension,or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements.
  • Known hypersensitivity to paclitaxel.
  • Any other condition or circumstance that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
  • Conditions precluding medical follow-up and protocol compliance
