Trial summary

Despite improved staging and operative techniques, the rate of incomplete resection (R1) of NSCLC has remained significant over the last decades. Patients with R1 resection have significantly worse survival compared to those with complete resection (R0). Read more about this study

Key requirements

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
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients will be included if they are aged 18 years or older,
  • with biopsy proven NSCLC,
  • clinically staged T3-T4 marginally resectable i.e. deemed at risk to achieve <R0 resection (such as invasion of critical mediastinal or hilar structures, nodal extra-capsular extension, chest wall, vertebral bodies, compromised bronchial stump margin, based on CT images of the chest).
  • Patients also need to be pathologically staged N0-1 disease,
  • with an SBRT CTV≤200cm3, based on planning CT images.
  • ECOG status is required to be <2 within 4 weeks prior to registration and
  • patients must be deemed medically operable by the surgical team.

Who cannot join

  • Patients will be excluded if they are deemed medically inoperable by the surgical team
  • and have a weight loss of ≥10% within 3 months prior to pathological diagnosis.
  • Patients will also have no absolute contraindication to RT such as connective tissue disease, pacemaker-dependent patient with the pacemaker receiving higher than tolerance dose, had no had previous RT to the current region of the study, that would result in overlap of RT fields,
  • patients must have no plans to receive other local therapy while on study, except at disease progression,
  • patients have not had other malignancy within 2 years prior to the study (other than non-melanomatous skin cancers)

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study: Locally Invasive NSCLC Treated With NEo-Adjuvant Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy and REsection

Despite improved staging and operative techniques, the rate of incomplete resection (R1) of NSCLC has remained significant over the last decades. Patients with R1 resection have significantly worse survival compared to those with complete resection (R0).

This is a phase I study that investigates the feasibility and safety of delivering Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to patients with locally invasive NSCLC (cT3-4, N0-1) who are at risk for incomplete resection.

Read more

Twenty patients with NSCLC will be treated with SBRT followed by surgery and appropriate adjuvant therapy. Patients will be divided into groups, of 5 patients each, treated with escalating doses (35, 40, 45 and 50 Gy) in 10 daily fractions.

The primary outcome is the feasibility i.e. the ability to complete safely SBRT and surgery (within 6 weeks). Secondary outcomes include acute and late adverse events, R0/R1/R2 rates and secondary surrogates of feasibility.

If successful, this study will lead to further evaluation of pre-operative SBRT in NSCLC.

What participants receive

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

  • Neoadjuvant Stereotactic body radiation (SBRT)Radiation

    Dose escalation of neo-adjuvant SBRT in operable patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

    The first cohort will be treated with a dose of 35 Gy in 10 fractions, the second cohort will be treated with a dose of 40 Gy in 10 fractions, the third cohort will be treated with a dose of 45 Gy in 10 fractions, the fourth cohort will be treated with a dose of 50 Gy in 10 fractions. The SBRT doses will be escalated only once all patients in the previous cohort will have completed safely their treatments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of SBRT followed by surgery (proportion of patients who can undergo 10 fractions of SBRT followed by Surgery)

    Feasibility of neo-adjuvant SBRT followed by surgery. This will be measured as the proportion of patients who can undergo 10 fractions of SBRT followed by Surgery as scheduled (within 6 weeks from registration).

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Early safety of SBRT-S through collection of serious adverse events (CTCAE version 4.0 grade 3 or higher) from beginning of SBRT to 4 weeks after completion of surgery.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Late safety profile of SBRT-S through collection of surgical complication rates assessed at 6 and 18 months post-registration (thus 30 months from opening of the study, assuming it takes 1 year to complete accrual).

    Complications recorded include incidence of bronchopleural fistula, esophageal fistula, wound healing complications (dehiscence, infection) and post-operative pulmonary complications).

    Measured: 30 months

  3. Secondary feasibility outcomes (including accrual rate, consent rate, rates of deviation from scheduled treatment plan, and reasons for delay)

    These include accrual rate, consent rate, rates of deviation from scheduled treatment plan of 6 weeks, and reasons for delay)

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Pathological response following neoadjuvant SBRT (proportion of R0, R1 and R2 resections)

    To determine the proportion of R0, R1 and R2 resections after neoadjuvant SBRT.

    Measured: 18 months

  5. Pathologic changes associated with neo-adjuvant SBRT with analysis of irradiated tissues

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neoadjuvant Stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) in people with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Carcinoma, run by Juravinski Cancer Center at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2018. 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 Canada. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Clinical Trials Department Juravinski Cancer Center (905-387-9495), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of SBRT followed by surgery (proportion of patients who can undergo 10 fractions of SBRT followed by Surgery) (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02433574, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Jul 2018.
