Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studies the effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy followed by surgery in treating patients with stage I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a method of radiation that uses imaging to precisely locate a tumor and then deliver very high radiation doses to the tumor site in order to limit normal tissue toxicity or damage.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the safety and feasibility of combining single fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) followed by surgery, in thoracic malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) after single fraction SBRT followed by surgery, in thoracic malignancies.

II. To define any differences in quality of life/toxicity following SBRT based on tumor location/stage/tumor type.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess changes in T cell mediated immunity following SBRT in thoracic malignancies.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 studies.

STUDY 1: Patients with stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the peripheral lung undergo highest-dose of SBRT over a single treatment fraction on day 1. Patients then undergo thoracic surgery on day 28.

STUDY 2: Patients with stage I or II NSCLC in the central lung undergo lowest-dose of SBRT over a single treatment fraction on day 1. Patients then undergo thoracic surgery on day 28.

STUDY 3: Patients with stage IIIA NSCLC in the any lung location undergo lowest- or higher-dose of SBRT over a single treatment fraction on day 1. Patients then undergo thoracic surgery on day 28.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6, 9, and 12 months, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 2 years.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 2

• Have histologically proven diagnosis of: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (stage I, II, or IIIa)

• Neoadjuvant or induction chemotherapy or biological (immune, vaccine, etc.)therapy for stage IIIa is allowed

• Chemotherapy for another invasive malignancy is permitted if it has been treated definitively and the patient has remained disease free for >3 years

• Participant is able to undergo surgery (planned lobectomy or wedge resection)

• Specifically, the participant has been or will have been cleared for surgery at the time of enrollment; the surgeon can accept the baseline tests done within 45 days prior to SBRT to clear the patient for surgery

• Participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) during treatment

• Participant or legal representative must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

• Contraindication to SBRT (this includes the inability to cooperate with any aspect of SBRT: such as the inability to lie still and breathe reproducibly)

• Previous radiotherapy to the volume of lung or mediastinum currently involved by tumor

• Previous surgery for this lung or mediastinum tumor

• Plans for the patient to receive other concomitant antineoplastic therapy (including standard fractionated radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological therapy, vaccine therapy, and surgery) while on this protocol(does not apply to neoadjuvant therapy as in inclusion criteria) except at disease progression

• Patients with active systemic, pulmonary, or pericardial infection

• Pregnant or nursing female participants

• Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements

• Any condition which in the investigator?s opinion deems the participant ineligible

• Received an investigational agent within 30 days prior to enrollment

• Stage IIIb

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Change in the mediators of tumor antigen presentation, co-stimulatory molecules, and immune effector cell populations assessed using multicolor flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)	Defined as CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, T-regulatory cells (CD4+CD25+FoxP3+), natural killer cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and myeloid derived suppressor cells. The study groups will be compared with age, sex, and stage matched controls. Immunohistochemistry results, flow cytometry results and ELISA results will be tabulated as percent change pre/post-radiation, and pre/post-thoracic surgery. The effects of these interventions will be assessed using permutation paired t-test, with multiplicity adjustments to maintain a 10% false discovery rate. Adjusted effect sizes will be obtained	Baseline up to 10 weeks post-surgery
Other	Factors associated with T cell immunity in pathologic specimens	Comparison will be made to similar, blinded samples from patients who received surgery alone (by means of standard Lung DSRG approval).	After surgery
Other	Incidence of adverse events assessed using the NCI CTCAE v4.0	Will be stratified by type of surgery (wedge resection, lobectomy, open versus thoracoscopic, and pneumonectomy).	Up to 10 weeks post-surgery
Primary	Incidence of treatment-related grade 3-5 adverse events assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)4.0	Comparison will be made with published historical and contemporaneous rates of toxicity with standard of care therapy for each of the study groups.	Up to 10 weeks post-surgery
Secondary	Overall survival	Will be measured and compared with published historical and contemporaneous rates of toxicity with standard of care therapy for each of the study groups.	Up to 5 years
Secondary	Progression free survival	Will be measured and compared with published historical and contemporaneous rates of toxicity with standard of care therapy for each of the study groups.	Up to 5 years
