Definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by durvalumab (Pacific protocol) has been the standard modality for stage III locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. In spite of the median overall survival of 47.5 months, there still existed 38.5% and 6.9% patients who finally developed intra-thorax and extra-thorax recurrence respectively in long-term follow-up. The relatively low local control rate has been the bottleneck for further improvement of overall survival. Hypofraction radiotherapy has been validated to be able to increase the local control rate in two prospective trials. Therefore, this trial is designed to explore the safety and primary efficacy of hypofraction radiotherapy followed by immune checkpoint inhibitors for stage III locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
This multi-center, phase II trial will be conducted in men with castration resistant prostate cancer. The aim of the TRAP trial is to test whether a new precise radiotherapy technique called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) can slow down the growth of metastatic prostate cancer. If SBRT is effective it will represent a new treatment option in these patients, providing more prolonged control without having to resort to chemotherapy and its potentially unpleasant side effects. In this trial, the investigators will identify men who, despite being on next generation androgen deprivation treatment (Abiraterone or Enzalutamide) have developed one or two new sites of worsening (growing) disease but the rest of their cancer is still responding to hormonal therapy. If it is the case that SBRT can successfully treat the cancer which is resistant to current treatment then the investigators hope they will be able to better control the spread of cancer in these patients for longer. The investigators also hope that they will be able to use the tell-tale products (gene markers) that are released into the bloodstream in these patients, or identify characteristics on novel imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help identify patients in the future who will benefit the most.
The present study is a randomized, control, phase II/III study of early stage (FIGO Ia2-IIb) cervical cancer after radical hysterectomy in Northwest China treated with radiotherapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy based on the surgical-pathological risk factors. All the patients received whole pelvis radiation and were divided into three groups according to adjuvant chemotherapy: concurrent chemotherapy with cisplatin weekly (40mg/m2) , concurrent chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin tri-weekly (75mg/m2), or concurrent and adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin tri-weekly (75mg/m2). The effectiveness, and side effects will be evaluated according to Standard WHO response criteria, and NCI common toxicity criteria for adverse events(NCI-CTC-AE) V3.0.
