- Brief Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and how well stereotactic radiosurgery followed by wedge resection works in treating patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer that is located in the outer, or peripheral, areas of the lung. Stereotactic radiosurgery, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy, is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Wedge resection is a less invasive type of surgery for removal of the tumor and a small amount of normal tissue around it. Giving stereotactic radiosurgery followed by wedge resection may be a safe treatment option for patients who cannot receive standard treatment with lobectomy.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the safety and feasibility of a wedge resection following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early stage peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess pathologic response rates to SBRT as determined by pathologic examination of resected tumors.
II. To prospectively assess patient quality of life when treated with SBRT and wedge resection.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the location of viable tumor and to correlate pathologic response rates with radiation dose, size of tumor, and tumor histology.
II. To correlate pathologic response rates and functional imaging with pre- and post-treatment dual-input perfusion (DP)-computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET)-CT.
III. To correlate changes in serum levels of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation and circulating tumor cells (CTC) with pathologic response rates.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery every other day for 3 or 5 fractions (depending on the size tumor and proximity to the chest wall). Within 4-6 weeks after completion of stereotactic radiosurgery, patients undergo wedge resection.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

Group Intervention Description Treatment (stereotactic radiosurgery, wedge resection) quality-of-life assessment Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery every other day for 3 or 5 fractions (depending on the size tumor and proximity to the chest wall). Within 4-6 weeks after completion of stereotactic radiosurgery, patients undergo wedge resection. Treatment (stereotactic radiosurgery, wedge resection) stereotactic radiosurgery Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery every other day for 3 or 5 fractions (depending on the size tumor and proximity to the chest wall). Within 4-6 weeks after completion of stereotactic radiosurgery, patients undergo wedge resection. Treatment (stereotactic radiosurgery, wedge resection) therapeutic conventional surgery Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery every other day for 3 or 5 fractions (depending on the size tumor and proximity to the chest wall). Within 4-6 weeks after completion of stereotactic radiosurgery, patients undergo wedge resection. Treatment (stereotactic radiosurgery, wedge resection) laboratory biomarker analysis Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery every other day for 3 or 5 fractions (depending on the size tumor and proximity to the chest wall). Within 4-6 weeks after completion of stereotactic radiosurgery, patients undergo wedge resection.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of grade 3-5 adverse events, graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03 Up to 12 months after surgery Treatment related toxicities will be assessed and recorded for each patient receiving treatment.
Rates of perioperative complications including blood loss, days in the intensive care unit, and operative time Up to 12 months after surgery Feasibility, determined by the number of patients who are able to complete wedge resection as well as receive the full dose of stereotactic radiosurgery Up to 12 months after surgery
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pathologic response rates Up to 12 months after surgery The pathologic response rates will be determined by measuring the percent of viable cells in the resected specimen. Associations (e.g. between pathologic response rates and DP-CT, fludeoxyglucose \[FDG\] uptake, DNA methylation, and CTC levels) will be displayed visually with scatterplots or contingency tables and appropriate measure of association (Wilcoxon test, Fisher's exact test, Spearman correlation coefficient, and McNemar's test).
Quality of life assessment Up to 12 months after surgery Quality of life assessments will be summarized over time with descriptive statistics.
