Phase 2

Conditions

Interventions
Radiation: Radiotherapy
Registration Number
NCT02709720
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Phase II clinical trial with metronomic oral vinorelbine and tri-weekly cisplatin as induction therapy and subsequent concomitantly with radiotherapy (RT) in patients with lung cancer (NSCLC) locally advanced unresectable

Detailed Description

Hypothesis: At present, administration of concomitant chemotherapy and radiation therapy is considered a treatment of choice for patients with unresectable stage III tumor selected clinically.

There is at present a systemic considered standard treatment in combination with radical radiotherapy. Nor is it established a dose of standard radiation therapy, but it is known that should never be less than 60Gy57.

Vinorelbine has shown a strong radio-sensitizer in-vitro37 effect. In the phase II study, The combination of oral vinorelbine with cisplatin as induction therapy and then concomitantly with radiotherapy (66Gy) has provided very encouraging efficacy results. Recently in the vortex scheme cisplatin study with oral vinorelbine concomitant maintained with radiation from the second cycle of chemotherapy was tested.

It is therefore a priority in this segment pathology seeking treatment regimens that improve the effectiveness and toxicity. Metronomic chemotherapy started with the idea of administering a cytostatic divided doses, for an extended period without interruption, can provide the advantage of exposing patients to significant dose chemotherapy without worsening the toxicity profile. All this makes it an attractive treatment strategy, and can also maintain radio sensitizing effect during concomitance.

Concomitant chemotherapy and radiotherapy: * Cisplatin: 80 mg/m2 day 1 every 21 days, for 2 cycles. * Metronomic oral vinorelbine: 30mg/day, 3 days of each week for 2 cycles. 1 cycle equals 21 days Radiotherapy treatment: Patients will receive concomitant thoracic radiation therapy, using a technique three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, using an accelerator linear that operates with energy rays ≥ 6 MV. The total target RTT dose will be 66 Gy in 33 daily fractions of 2 Gy, which will be prescribed in accordance with the document of ICRU reference 50 of ICRU.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free SurvivalFrom patient inclusion up to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 24 months.

To evaluate the efficacy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) of oral metronomical vinorelbine and cisplatin as an induction treatment and then with concomitant radiotherapy. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions The PFS is defined as the time from the moment of patient inclusion to the documentation of progression or death from any cause (patients who die without evidence of progression, will be considered events on the date of death).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective Response Rate 6 MonthFrom the start of the treatment of the patient to 6 month afther the treatment end

The objective response rate will be calculated from the sum of the number of patients whose best response is complete response, partial response and stable disease divided by the total number of patients eligible for the analysis. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

Overall Survival (Estimated)From the date of randomization until end of follow up or death, up to 24 months.

Overall survival will be measured from the date of patient inclusion until death or loss of follow-up. In patients who have not died, the duration of survival will be censored on the date of the last contact if the patient causes loss of follow-up or on the date of the latest news.
