Primary Radiotherapy In MEtastatic Lung Cancer

Официальное название

A Randomised Phase III Trial of Up-front Radiotherapy With Standard-of-care Systemic Therapy in Advanced Lung Cancer

Обзор

Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate of all cancers in Australia and is an area of unmet need. It starts in the lung (the primary tumour), and then spreads (metastasise) to other organs. The PRIME-Lung clinical trial will investigate if radiotherapy to the primary lung tumour, in addition to standard drug therapies, for patients with metastatic lung cancer will lead to less spread of cancer, prolong life, improve patient well-being and be cost-effective for the health care system.

Подробное описание

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death and is the second most common cancer in both men and women in Australia, and globally. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of cases. Almost half of the cases present with metastatic disease, in whom average survival is less than two years despite recent advances with immunotherapy. Drug therapies alone have not been able to overcome this ceiling in survival.

The primary lung tumour is a source of ongoing seeding of new metastatic (secondary) sites of disease, and we will test whether eradication of the primary tumour through non-invasive radiotherapy will limit metastases, enhance the effect of drug therapy and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Radiotherapy is a rapidly translatable solution to address this unmet need.

In the Primary Radiotherapy In MEtastatic Lung cancer (PRIME-Lung) trial, patients with metastatic NSCLC will receive standard of care systemic therapy with or without radiotherapy to the primary lung tumour. We hypothesise that radiotherapy will improve overall survival above standard of care drug therapy. PRIME-Lung is a randomised controlled phase III clinical trial and will provide a definitive answer to this critical issue.

The study team includes representation from radiation and medical oncology, physics, respiratory medicine, biostatistics, health economics and quality of life experts. The PRIME-Lung trial was designed in consultation with consumers to ensure acceptability and applicability to this area of unmet need. Furthermore, to accelerate rollout and accessibility, the trial will build on the existing AURORA lung cancer registry, leveraging the registry's established data management processes and over 25 already active sites. As radiotherapy is a pillar of oncology and widely available, upon successful completion of this trial we expect rapid translation into the community and widespread adoption of the trial results.

• Has had previous thoracic radiotherapy of > 36Gy within the 6 months prior to randomisation.
• Has been diagnosed and/or treated additional malignancy within 2 years prior to randomisation with the exception of: Curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, curatively treated early-stage cervical cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer with no evidence of active disease and not on active therapy. Other exceptions may be considered following consultation with the principal investigator
