Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Life expectancy > 6 months
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC
  • Patients with AJCC stage IV cancer with distant metastases and without malignant pleural or pericardial effusion at diagnosis and before start of study
  • Patients with pleural effusion that is transudative, cytologically negative, and non-bloody are eligible as long as they are stable and do not impair the ability to define tumor volumes.
  • If a pleural effusion is too small for diagnostic thoracentesis, the patient will be eligible.
Show all 19Show fewer
  • Primary and regional nodal disease that is encompassable in a reasonable radiotherapy portal:
  • Patients with 1-5 sites of disease and amenable to RT therapy as seen on standard imaging (CT, MRI, bone scan, PET scan)
  • Unidimensionally measurable disease (based on RECIST) is desirable but not strictly required.
  • Patients with brain metastases are allowed as long as they meet all other inclusion criteria. Brain metastases must be treated with whole brain radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery or surgical resection followed by whole brain radiotherapy.
  • ECOG performance status <2
  • No prior RT to currently involved tumor sites
  • Baseline peripheral neuropathy < grade 1

  • Patients must have normal organ and marrow function
  • Men and women of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for at least 3 months thereafter.
  • Signed Informed consent
  • Inclusion of Women and Minorities
  • RT: Patient must have a completed treatment plan approved by the protocol review team

Who cannot join

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF), unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements
  • Patients with clinically significant pulmonary dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, or any history of clinically significant CHF are excluded. The exclusion of patients with active coronary heart disease will be at the discretion of the attending physician.
  • Patients with significant atelectasis such that CT definition of the gross tumor volume (GTV) is difficult to determine.
  • < 1000 cc of tumor free lung.
  • Tumor volume and location which requires a lung volume-PTV >40% to receive >20 Gy (V20 <40%).
  • Patients with exudative, bloody, or cytologically malignant effusions are not eligible.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding (Women of child-bearing potential are eligible, but must consent to using effective contraception during therapy and for at least 3 months after completing therapy)
  • Patients must have no uncontrolled active infection other than that not curable without treatment of their cancer.
  • Patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to docetaxel or other drugs formulated with polysorbate 80.
  • Patient may not be receiving any other investigational agents.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Docetaxel, Cisplatin, and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Versus Docetaxel and Cisplatin for Limited Volume Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: The Synergistic Metastases Annihilation With Radiotherapy and Docetaxel (Taxotere) [SMART] Trial

Primary goal of the study is to assess the overall survival of the addition of hypofractionated image guided radiotherapy concurrently with Docetaxel and cisplatin. Survival will be assessed at 1 year from the date of study enrollment to date of death.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Docetaxel and cisplatinDrug

    Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV repeated every 21 days for 2 additional cycles. For patients randomized to group 1, the chemotherapy is identical to that administered for the first 2 cycles

  • Docetaxel and cisplatin Plus Hypofractionated RadiotherapyRadiation

    Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV for 2 cycles along with hypofractionated radiotherapy to all known sites of disease

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 1-Year Overall Survival

    Overall survival is assessed at 1 year from the date of study enrollment to date of death.

    Measured: Baseline to death from any cause, 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall PFS and CT Rate

    Overall PFS and CT rate is assessed response with PET and CT. Toxicity of addition of high dose focused RT to systemic therapy.Late (>90 day) radiotherapy toxicity will be assessed with RTOG/EORTC late RT toxicity guidelines

    Measured: >90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and cisplatin and Docetaxel and cisplatin Plus Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 19 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

1-Year Overall Survival (time frame: Baseline to death from any cause, 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Dec 2013.
