NCT03348748

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 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 Outcomes (2)

  • Overall survival

    Up to 5 years

  • Progression free survival

    Up to 5 years

Other Outcomes (3)

  • 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)

    Baseline up to 10 weeks post-surgery

  • Factors associated with T cell immunity in pathologic specimens

    After surgery

  • Incidence of adverse events assessed using the NCI CTCAE v4.0

    Up to 10 weeks post-surgery

Study Arms (3)

Study 1 (highest-dose of SBRT, surgery)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with stage I or II NSCLC in the peripheral lung undergo highest-dose of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy over a single treatment fraction on day 1. Patients then undergo thoracic surgery on day 28.

Other: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisOther: Quality-of-Life AssessmentDrug: Stereotactic Body Radiation TherapyProcedure: Thoracic Surgical Procedure

Study 2 (lowest-dose of SBRT, surgery)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with stage I or II NSCLC in the central lung undergo lowest-dose of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy over a single treatment fraction on day 1. Patients then undergo thoracic surgery on day 28.

Other: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisOther: Quality-of-Life AssessmentDrug: Stereotactic Body Radiation TherapyProcedure: Thoracic Surgical Procedure

Study 3 (lowest- or higher-dose of SBRT, surgery)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with stage IIIA NSCLC in the any lung location undergo lowest- or higher-dose of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy over a single treatment fraction on day 1. Patients then undergo thoracic surgery on day 28.

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • 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

You may not qualify if:

  • 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
  • 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
