Hypofractionated Brain Radiation In EGFR Mutated Adenocarcinoma Cranial Disease (Hybrid)

Phase 3
Conditions
Stage IV EGFR Mutated NSCL With Brain Metastases
Interventions
Radiation: HFSRS
Radiation: WBRT
Registration Number
NCT02882984
Lead Sponsor
Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital
Brief Summary

A multi-center phase III randomized controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of Hypofractionated SRS (HFSRS) along with EGFR-TKI in patients with brain metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Assuming that HFSRS is not inferior to EGFR-TKI concurrent with whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), the primary end point is intracranial PFS (iPFS), while secondary outcomes included overall survival (OS), evaluation of cognitive function, quality of life (QoL) and adverse events.

Detailed Description

WBRT remains to be standard of care for NSCL patients. Long term survival from WBRT may have noticeable cognitive dysfunction. The EGFR TKI has reasonable control for intracranial disease, but the duration of EGFR TKI control disease is variable due to tendency of drug resistance. To maintain intracranial disease control and improve cognitive function, the investigators propose using hypofractionated SRS in multiple brain metastases or large brain lesions alone with TKI.
