Clinical Trial Summary

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer and the leading causes of cancer death in worldwide. Approximately 80% of NSCLC were inoperable. The prognosis of patients with LA-NSCLC remains disappointing. Investigators hypothesized that use of simultaneous integrated boost intensity modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) technology can safety increasing the radiation dose and benefit for inoperable NSCLC patients.

Description:

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancer and the leading causes of cancer death in patients worldwide. Approximately 80% of NSCLC were inoperable. Concurrent chemo-radiation therapy (CCRT) is a standard treatment for locally advanced NSCLC who are not candidates for surgery. Nevertheless, the prognosis of patients with locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC) is still poor. Local control (LC) after CCRT is one of the most important prognostic factors. Local failure is common after standard-dose chemoradiation for NSCLC. Studies of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) have shown a steep dose response in treating early-stage lung cancer. Improving the total dose and shortening the overall treatment time may be effective for improving the LC rates. However, problems remain due to the toxicity to adjacent critical structures (e.g,lung,heart, esophagus), the target volumes usually limits the doses escalated that cannot be safely delivered by conventional radiotherapy techniques. In order to avoid the acute and late radiation toxicity of normal tissues, different dose prescriptions can be delivered to different target volumes in the same fraction, which deliver a higher dose to the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) and a relatively lower dose to the subclinical disease. The technique is called simultaneous integrated boost intensity modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT).

Investigators hypothesized that use of SIB-IMRT technology can safety increasing the radiation dose and benefit for inoperable NSCLC patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression free survival (PFS)	Progression free survival is defined as the time (in months) from the date of admission to the date of progression or last follow-up	up to 12 months	No
Secondary	Treatment-related toxicities	To assess the pulmonary, oesophageal and cardiac grade 3 or 4 toxicity occurring up to 3 and 6 months after radiotherapy, according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.	up to 6 months	No
Secondary	Overall Response Rate (ORR)	ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with an overall response of complete response (CR) of any duration, partial response (PR) of any duration for a minimum of 3 months from start of treatment. Per RECIST, CR: disappearance of all target lesions, all non-target lesions, and no new lesion; PR: a >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions (TLs) taking as a reference the baseline sum, no unequivocal progression of non-TLs, and no new lesions; progressive disease (PD), a >=20% increase in TLs, clearly worsening of non-TLs, or emergence of new lesions; stable disease (SD): no change or small changes that do not meet previously given criteria for CR, PR or PD.	up to 3 months	No
Secondary	Overall survival (OS)	Overall survival is defined as the time (in months) from the date of admission to the date of death from any cause or last follow-up	up to 36 months	No
