A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Proton Therapy for Stage II-III

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects (good and bad) on subjects and their cancer using standard chemotherapy in combination with hypofractionated proton radiation therapy. Hypofractionation is a technique that delivers higher daily doses of radiation over a shorter period of time.

Clinical Trial Description

Conventional fractionated photon-based radiotherapy to 60-63 Gy at 1.8-2 Gy/fraction with concurrent chemotherapy remains the standard treatment practice in patients with stage III non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with local control rates of approximately 50% and a median overall survival of just 18 months.Unfortunately, even the standard treatment has significant toxicity with approximately 40% of patients developing grade 3 or higher acute toxicities in the RTOG 9410 study.1 These outcomes are poor and more effective treatment regimens are needed. Higher doses of radiation have been hypothesized to improve local control in patients with stage III NSCLC. This is expected to translate into better overall survival.Given the significant improvements in outcome in patients receiving hypofractionation for stage I NSCLC, perhaps similar gains could be achieved if hypofractionated radiotherapy could be safely delivered to stage II-III NSCLC with concurrent chemotherapy. Hypofractionated radiotherapy may offer improvement in local control compared with conventional fractionation that may translate into improved overall survival. Furthermore, hypofractionation will shorten the time interval during which patients are receiving less aggressive chemotherapy. Proton therapy is a highly conformal radiotherapy technique that takes advantage of the proton's characteristic Bragg Peak, resulting in significant reductions in the exit dose of the treatment beam. Thus, proton therapy can substantially reduce the dose to critical structures even compared with IMRT. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of delivering hypofractionated proton therapy with concurrent chemotherapy in patients with stage II-III NSCLC ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
