Accelerated Conformal Radiotherapy for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Patients With Pulmonary Dysfunction: A Phase I Study


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated course of accelerated 3-dimensional conformal
radiotherapy in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer with pulmonary
dysfunction.

- Determine the short-term and long-term toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine local tumor control, failure-free survival, and overall survival in patients
treated with this regimen.

- Determine the effect of radiotherapy dose volume relationships and pre-treatment
pulmonary function studies on the incidence of pulmonary toxicity in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive accelerated 3-dimensional (3-D) conformal radiotherapy daily 5 days a week
for 3.5-6 weeks.

Cohorts of 8 patients receive escalating fractions of accelerated 3-D conformal radiotherapy
until the maximum tolerated course is determined. The maximum tolerated course is defined as
the course at which no more than 2 patients develop at least grade 3 dose-limiting toxicity
and no more than 1 patient develops at least grade 4 dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then
every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 8-32 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3
years.
