University of Chinese Academy Sciences

Status and phase: Unknown; Phase 2

Conditions: NSCLC Stage IV

Treatments: Radiation: SBRT

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT05387044

Details and patient eligibility

About

The treatment modality with immunotherapy has been the first-line standard treatment for advanced NSCLC. But more than 2/3 patients still develop acquired drug resistance within 5 years of immunotherapy, and more than 1/2 patients are oligoprogressive. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) plays a growing role in the management of oligometastatic disease. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT for oligoprogressive NSCLC after first line treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Enrollment: 28 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age at least 18 years;
• ECOG PS 0-1;
• Patients with pathologically confirmed stage IV NSCLC by tumor biopsy and/or fine-needle aspiration （AJCC the 8th Edition）;
• Stable Disease for at least 6 months after first line immunotherapy;
• Oligoprogressive disease in 5 or fewer lesions and 3 or fewer organs;
• All oligopreogressive lesion ≤ 5cm, and intracranial lesion ≤3cm or 30cc;
• Progressive disease would be amenable to SBRT and without indications for palliative radiotherapy in the opinion of the investigator;
• Patients with a history of radiotherapy are eligible if radiotherapy administered more than 4 weeks before study entry;
• Adequate organ function prior to enrollment:

Adequate bone marrow function: white blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3.0 * 10 ^ 9/L or neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 * 10 ^ 9/L, platelet count ≥ 100 * 10 ^ 9/L and hemoglobin ≥90g/L,; Adequate hepatic function: total bilirubin, urea nitrogen and serum creatinine≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.0 ULN;

• Life expectancy of more than 3 months;
• Ability to understand and willingness to provide the informed consent and signed informed consent for the use of fresh tumor biopsies before and during the treatment;

• Symptomatic interstitial lung disease or clinically active infectious/non-infectious pneumonitis.
• History of another malignancy or concurrent malignancy;
• Active infection, congestive heart failure, or any evidence of myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris or cardiac arrhythmia within 6 months prior to enrollment;
• The patient is pregnant (confirmed by serum b-HCG if applicable) or is breastfeeding;
