Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this phase Ⅱ trial was to investigate the effect of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) on the tumor immune microenvironment (TME) in oligometastasis, oligoprogression, and oligopersistence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after immunotherapy. At least 20 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at Hetian District People's Hospital.
Detailed Description
LDRT targeting oligometastases has been shown to enhance anti-tumour immunity by reprogramming the TME, thereby improving the efficacy of immunotherapy. The aim of this study was to collect pathological tissues from oligometastasis, oligoprogression, and oligopersistence of NSCLC after immunotherapy before LDRT (5Gy/5f) and up to 24h after LDRT in order to apply multiplexed fluorescence immunohistochemistry (mIHC) for evaluation of the tumor immune microenvironment. This study will be able to investigate the effect of LDRT on TME in oligometastatic lesions of NSCLC after immunotherapy and assess the efficacy and safety of LDRT.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Agree to take pathologic biopsies of oligometastasis, oligoprogression, or oligopersistence lesions before and up to 24h after LDRT. And be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial.
- •Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC.
- •Patient developed oligometastasis, oligoprogression or oligopersistence after standard immunotherapy.
- •Be ≥18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
- •Be willing to undergo repeat biopsy of tumor lesions according to the study protocol.
- •Patients who have failed the standard therapy, or who are unsuitable for standard treatment, or refuse chemotherapy.
- •At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.
- •A lesion that has previously received radiotherapy can be considered a target lesion only if this lesion is clearly progressed after radiotherapy.
- •The target lesions (irradiated lesions) are \> 5cm in in diameter
- •Life expectancy of \> 3 months.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis and/or spinal cord compression, etc.
- •With oncologic emergencies that require immediate treatment
- •EGFR/ALK/ROS-1 mutation or mutation status unknown.
- •Has evidence of interstitial lung disease or active and/or non-infectious pneumonitis (drug-induced pneumonia, radiation-induced pneumonia, etc.) requiring steroid therapy.
- •History of pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, severe irreversible airway obstruction disease
- •Patients with peripheral neuropathy.
- •Significant heart disease or impairment of cardiac function
- •Fluid accumulating in the third space, such as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion that remains uncontrolled by aspiration or other treatment
- •Known allergy to drugs or excipients, known severe allergic reaction to any of the PD-1 monoclonal antibodies
- •Severe infection within 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment, including but not limited to hospitalization for infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia; treatment with oral or intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment; patients receiving prophylactic antibiotic therapy (e.g., to prevent urinary tract infection or exacerbation of COPD) are eligible for this study.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Analysis of the tumor immune microenvironment
Time Frame: 12 months
mIHC: Multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemical analysis was performed on the collected pathological tissue samples(before LDRT (5Gy/5f) and up to 24h after LDRT) using equipment such as fluorescence microscope and flow cytometer. To reveal the effect of LDRT on the tumor immune microenvironment by detecting the expression of different immune markers.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of participants with Adverse Events and/or Dose Limiting Toxicities as a Measurement of Safety and Tolerability of Low Dose Radiotherapy(48 months)
- Overall Survival (OS)(48 months)
- Progression Free Survival (PFS)(48 months)
