NCT02455843

Brief Summary

This study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label Phase III trial that compares microwave plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS) and the key secondary endpoint is overall survival (OS). A total of 275 eligible patients will be randomized to receive either microwave ablation combinated with first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy(138) or first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy(137) in a 1:1 ratio until patients. The response of microwave ablation will be assessed by the expert consensus for thermal ablation of primary and metastatic lung tumors. Tumor response and progression will be assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST)1.1.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • progression free survival

    From the start of chemotherapy or ablation to the date of progression or death

    up to 12 months after the last patient randomized

Study Arms (2)

Microwave plus chemotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

In combination group, patients will be treated with microwave ablation in primary tumor sites followed by chemotherapy (For non-squamous cell lung cancer,patients will be treated with pemetrexed,500mg/m2, d1, ivdrip, or docetaxel,75mg/m2, d1, ivdrip or gemcitabine 1250mg/m2, d1 d8, ivdrip,or novelbine 25mg/m2 d1 d8, ivdrip, paclitaxel 175mg/m2 d1 ivdrip plus cisplatin 75mg/m2, d1 d2, ivdrip or carboplatin with an area under the curve of 5 d1 ivdrip. For squamous cell lung cancer,patients will be treated with docetaxel,75mg/m2, d1, ivdrip or gemcitabine 1250mg/m2, d1 d8, ivdrip plus cisplatin 75mg/m2, d1 d2, ivdrip or carboplatin with an area under the curve of 5 d1 ivdrip;repeated every 3 weeks and up to 6 cycles are administrated )

Other: Microwave ablation

chemotherapy

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In chemotherapy group,patients will be treated with chemotherapy alone(For non-squamous cell lung cancer,patients will be treated with pemetrexed,500mg/m2, d1, ivdrip plus cisplatin 75mg/m2, d1 d2, ivdrip or carboplatin with a area uder the curve of 5 d1 ivdrip. For squamous cell lung cancer,patients will be treated with docetaxel,75mg/m2, d1, ivdrip or gemcitabine 1250mg/m2, d1 d8, novelbine 25mg/m2 d1 d8, ivdrip, paclitaxel 175mg/m2 d1 ivdrip plus cisplatin 75mg/m2, d1 d2, ivdrip or carboplatin with an area under the curve of 5 d1 ivdrip;repeated every 3 weeks and up to 6 cycles are administrated )

Other: Microwave ablation

Interventions

Patients assigned to the combination group will be treated with microwave in the primary tumor site

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of advanced stage NSCLC (stage IIIB or IV) which is confirmed by histology or cytology methods.

  • Left ventricular ejection fraction \>50% or within institution normal values.
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)\>1500/mm3.
  • Platelet count \>75,000/mm3
  • Estimated creatinine clearance\>45m1/min.
  • Total bilirubin\<1.5 times institutional ULN (Patients with Gilbert's Syndrome total bilirubin must be \<4 times institutional ULN).
  • Aspartate amino transferase (AST) or alanine amino transferase (ALT) \< three times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (if related to liver metastases\<five times institutional ULN).
  • Age ≥ 18 years.

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous anti-cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiation therapy or targeted therapy..
  • Active symptomatic brain metastases. Dexamethasone therapy will be allowed if administered as a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before randomization.
  • Any other current malignancy or malignancy diagnosed within the past five (5) years.
  • History or presence of clinically relevant cardiovascular abnormalities such as uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of 3, unstable angina or poorly controlled arrhythmia as determined by the investigator. Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to randomisation.
  • Any other concomitant serious illness or organ system dysfunction which in the opinion of the investigator would either compromise patient safety or interfere with the evaluation of the safety of the test drug.
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men who are able to father a child, unwilling to be abstinent or use adequate contraception prior to study entry.
  • Female patients of childbearing potential who are nursing or are pregnant.
  • Patients unable to comply with the protocol in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Active hepatitis B infection (defined as presence of Hepatitis B DNA), active hepatitis C infection (defined as presence of Hepatitis C RNA) and/or known HIV carrier.
  • Known or suspected active drug or alcohol abuse in the opinion of the investigator.
