Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
Registration Number
NCT02581384
Lead Sponsor
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Brief Summary

This research study is studying stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as a possible treatment for lung relapse of Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma, Wilms tumor or other primary renal tumor (including clear cell and rhabdoid). SBRT is a form of targeted radiotherapy that can treat very small tumors using a few large doses.

Detailed Description

This research study is a Pilot Study, also known as a Phase I-II study, which means it is the first time investigators are examining this study intervention for patients with lung recurrence of Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma, Wilms tumor or other primary renal tumor (including clear cell and rhabdoid). This study tests the most appropriate dose, safety and efficacy of SBRT for the treatment of lung recurrence of these cancers in children. Standard radiotherapy is typically used to treat Ewing sarcoma and is used to treat lung recurrence. SBRT is being used to treat adults with small inoperable lung cancers; in such cases, SBRT has been shown to be effective and well-tolerated. SBRT is also used to treat bone metastases in adults and children.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Prior whole-lung or hemi-thorax irradiation of greater than 12 Gy received less than 6 months prior to consent (focal radiotherapy to the thorax is not an exclusion)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity [Phase I]Up to 6 months

Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT's) are toxicities experienced from start of therapy to 6 month. DLT's are assessed on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.

DLTs are defined as follows:

Grade 2 or higher toxicities:

* Myelitis

* Esophageal fistula, perforation, hemorrhage

Grade 3 or higher toxicities considered to be a direct result of therapy:

* Pneumonitis

* Pericarditis, pericardial effusion

* Esophageal necrosis, stenosis, ulcer

* Dyspnea

Grade 4 toxicities:

* Esophagitis

* Pericardial tamponade

* Pulmonary toxicity excluding infectious pneumonia

* Skin toxicity

* Hemoptysis/pulmonary hemorrhage

Grade 5 toxicities, including:

* Pulmonary toxicity including pneumonitis

* Excluding infectious pneumonia

Three participants will enter the study in each cohort. If 0/3 patients experiences a DLT, this dose level will move forward to the Phase II and more participants will be enrolled.

Overall Response Rate [Phase II]6 weeks

Percentage of participants with response after 6 weeks. Response on treatment was considered to be Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) measured according Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. For target lesions, CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete Response Rate [Phase II]6 weeks

Percentage of pulmonary lesions of participants with response after 6 weeks. Response on treatment was considered to be Complete Response (CR) measured according Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. For target lesions, CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions.

2 Year Local Control Rate [Phase II]24 Months

Rate of local control (LC) of the index lesion after lung SBRT at 2 years. LC is defined as the absence of tumor progression within 1 cm of the primary tumor site. LC is measured by established methods.

Percentage of Participants With 2-Year Failure-Free Survival [Phase II]24 months

Rate of distant lung failure-free survival defined lung failure or death from any cause at two years. Lung failure defined using established methods.

Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events [Phase I and II]Up to 6 months post-treatment (6 months and 2 weeks)

Grade 3 or higher adverse events as defined by controlled terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 4.
