Brief Summary
This randomized phase III trial is studying whole-brain radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery with or without temozolomide or erlotinib to see how well they work compared to whole-brain radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery in treating patients with brain metastases secondary to non-small cell lung cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery are more effective with or without temozolomide or erlotinib in treating brain metastases.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall Survival
Survival time is defined as time from randomization to date of death from any cause and estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients last known to be alive are censored at date of last contact.
From randomization to date of death or last follow-up, up to 48.1 months. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 9 months.
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Rate of CNS Progression (One Year)
From randomization to last follow-up, up to 48.1 months. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 9 months.
Quality-adjusted Survival as Measured by EuroQol 5-dimension Instrument
From randomization to last follow-up, up to 48.1 months. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 9 months.
Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br) Score at 3 Months
From randomization to three months.
Change in Performance Status at Six Months
From randomization to six months.
Change in Steroid Dependence at Six Months
From randomization to six months.

Study Arms (3)
Arm I
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients undergo whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) once daily on days 1-5, 8-12, and 15-19. Within 14 days after completion of WBRT, patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery.
Arm II
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo WBRT and stereotactic radiosurgery as in arm I. Beginning on the first day of WBRT, patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-21. Beginning 4 weeks after completion of WBRT, patients may receive oral temozolomide alone once daily on days 1-5. Treatment with temozolomide repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Arm III
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo WBRT and stereotactic radiosurgery as in arm I. Beginning on the first day of WBRT, patients receive oral erlotinib once daily for up to 6 months.
Interventions
Patients undergo radiation therapy once daily for approximately 3 weeks
Patients undergo surgery after radiation therapy
Given orally
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer
- One to 3 intraparenchymal brain metastases by contrast-enhanced MRI, meeting the following criteria:
- Well circumscribed tumor(s)
- Maximum diameter ≤ 4.0 cm
- If multiple lesions are present and one lesion is at the maximum diameter, the other lesions must not exceed 3.0 cm in maximum diameter
- No metastases within 10 mm of the optic apparatus such that a portion of the optic nerve or chiasm would be included in the high-dose stereotactic radiosurgery boost field
- No metastases in the brainstem, midbrain, pons, or medulla
- No prior complete resection of all known brain metastases
- Subtotal resection allowed provided residual disease is ≤ 4.0 cm in maximum diameter
- No clinical or radiographic evidence of progression (other than study lesion\[s\]) within the past month
- Patients with brain metastases at initial presentation do not require 1 month of scans documenting stable disease
- Stable extracranial metastases allowed
- No known or pre-existing liver metastases
- No leptomeningeal metastases by MRI or cerebrospinal fluid evaluation
- Synchronous brain metastases at initial diagnosis allowed
- +42 more criteria
