A Phase II Trial of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in the Treatment of Patients with Operable Stage I/II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer |
| Eligibility: |
Histological confirmation of NSCLC is required by either biopsy or cytology within 60 days prior to registration. The following primary cancer types are eligible: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, large cell neuroendocrine, and non-small cell carcinoma not otherwise specified. Although bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma is a subtype of NSCLC, patients with the pure type of this malignancy are excluded from this protocol because this cancer's spread between adjacent airways is difficult to target on CT. Eligible patients must have appropriate staging studies identifying them as specific subsets of AJCC Lung 6th Edition, 2002 stage I or II based on only one of the following combinations of TNM staging:
- T1, N0, M0
- T2 ( 5 cm), N0, M0
- T3 ( 5 cm), N0, M0 chest wall primary tumors only
The patient must be considered a reasonable candidate for surgical resection of the primary tumor according to the following criteria:
- A qualified thoracic surgeon should make the determination prior to registration that there would be a high likelihood of negative surgical margins.
- baseline FEV1 > 35% predicted,
- postoperative predicted FEV1 > 30% predicted,
- diffusion capacity > 35% predicted,
- absent baseline hypoxemia and/or hypercapnia,
- exercise oxygen consumption > 50% predicted,
- absent severe pulmonary hypertension,
- absent severe cerebral, cardiac, or peripheral vascular disease,
- absent severe chronic heart disease.
Pleural effusion, if present, must be deemed too small to tap under CT guidance and must not be evident on chest x-ray. Pleural effusion that appears on chest x-ray will be permitted only after thoracotomy or other invasive procedure; Age > 18 years; Zubrod performance status 0-1within 45 days prior to study entry; Women of childbearing potential and male participants must use an effective contraceptive method, such as condom/diaphragm and spermicidal foam, intrauterine device (IUD), or prescription birth control pills. CBC/differential obtained within 28 days prior to registration on study, with adequate bone marrow function defined as follows: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,800 cells/mm3, Platelets > 100,000 cells/mm3, Hemoglobin > 8.0 g/dl (Note: The use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve Hgb > 8.0 g/dl is acceptable.) Patient must provide study-specific consent prior to study entry.

| Title: |
Seamless Phase I/II Study of Stereotactic Lung Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Early Stage, Centrally Located, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in Medically Inoperable Patients |
| Eligibility: |
Pathologically proven diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); Stage T1-2, N0, M0, tumor size < 5 cm; the primary tumor must be deemed technically resectable by an experienced thoracic cancer clinician, with a reasonable possibility of obtaining a gross total resection with negative margins, defined as a potentially curative resection (PCR). However, the patient must have underlying physiological medical problems that would prohibit a PCR and be deemed "medically inoperable" with a tumor within or touching the zone of the proximal bronchial tree. Patients must have measurable disease. Zubrod Performance Status 0-2; Age > 18; Pleural effusion, if present, must be deemed too small to tap under CT guidance and must not be evident on chest x-ray. Pleural effusion that appears on chest x-ray will be permitted only after thoracotomy or other invasive procedure(s). Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 1 week prior to registration for women of childbearing potential; Women of childbearing potential and male participants must agree to use a medically effective means of birth control throughout their participation in the treatment phase of the study (until at least 60 days following the last study treatment); Patients must provide study-specific informed consent prior to any protocol specified procedures. No prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 2 years; previous lung cancer, if the patient is disease-free for a minimum of 2 years is permitted. No prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields; no prior chemotherapy for the study cancer; no plans for the patient to receive other local therapy (including standard fractionated radiotherapy and/or surgery) while on this study, except at disease progression; no plans for the patient to receive systemic therapy (including standard chemotherapy or biologic targeted agents), while on this study, except at disease progression. |
