OMEGA, Local Ablative Therapy in Oligometastatic NSCLC — OMEGA  

Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung Clinical Trial

Official title: OMEGA, A Randomized Trial of Local Ablative Therapy Vs. Conventional Treatment in Oligometastatic NSCLC

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Oligometastatic lung cancer (OM-NSCLC) seems to be associated with a better prognosis than usual Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer when radical local therapy of all metastatic sites is administered but the impact of such an approach on overall survival and quality of life remains to be defined by adequately powered phase III trials.

A consortium of tertiary referral centres involved in Lung Cancer management at the national level was established to launch a randomized trial of local ablative therapy in OM-NSCLC patients with potentially resectable or locally controlled primary tumors has been designed.

Inclusion criteria include adequate performance status, primary tumor controlled or controllable staging with whole-body FDG PET scan and brain MRI, fit to receive at least 3 cycles of platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, or immunotherapy or targeted agents according to molecular profile.

Exclusion criteria include cerebral oligometastasis alone (will receive local therapy in any case), metastasis in sites where normal radiotherapy constraints cannot be met, multiple subsolid nodules in the absence of extrapulmonary metastasis, prior malignant tumor with some exceptions, relevant co-morbidities that would significantly reduce life expectancy on their own.

Patients with synchronous or metachronous oligometastatic lung cancer (1-3 metastatic lesions) will be randomized to local ablative therapy + standard treatment Vs. standard treatment. Balancing between study arms will be performed according to synchronous vs. metachronous presentation, Number of oligometastases, Nodal status and Oncogene-addiction or PDL-1 expression. Primary outcome will be Overall Survival (OS) from randomization. The sample size is set to 195 patients.

Disease state and life status will be assessed on a 3-monthly basis by physical examination, whole-body CT scan plus repeat PET-scan if needed and Brain MRI if brain metastasis at enrolment. Toxicity and adverse events will be assessed according to NCI-Common Terminology Criteria. And RTOG criteria. Quality of life will be assessed at randomization and after six months by the SF36/LCSS

Clinical Trial Description

Lung cancer is a systemic disease with local manifestations that are ultimately responsible for a reduced life expectancy in a relatively large subgroup of metastatic lung cancer patients.

In such a subgroup, local ablative therapy of the primary tumor and of all metastatic lesions with a combination of surgery and/or radiotherapy should lead to a clinically significant improvement of their overall survival with acceptable morbidity and preserved Quality of Life compared with medical treatment alone

OMEGA is a randomized trial of local ablative therapy in NSCLC patients with potentially resectable or locally controlled primary tumors and oligometastatic disease

The decision to randomise OM-NSCLC patients either before any systemic therapy or after 3 months of treatment without progression is left to the recruiting centre(s).

Local ablative therapy will be administered in any case to patients harboring cerebral oligometastasis

Statistical methods

Dynamic balancing as per the method of Pocock and Simon [16] according to:

• Synchronous vs. metachronous presentation

• Number of oligometastases (1 vs. 2-3) including extrathoracic N3 disease

• Nodal status (N0 vs. N+)

• Oncogene-addiction (EGFR/ALK/ROS-1 driven or PDL1 >50% vs <50% vs. wild type) ;
