Phase II Trial of SFRT Plus Chemo-immunotherapy for LA-NSCLC With Suboptimal Neoadjuvant Response

Официальное название

Spatially Fractionated Radiotherapy Combined With Chemo-immunotherapy for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Suboptimal Response to Initial Neoadjuvant Therapy: A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Phase II Study

Обзор

Lattice radiation therapy (LRT) is a spatially fractionated thoracic radiotherapy technique that creates alternating high- and low-dose regions within primary lung tumors and metastatic lymph nodes to strengthen local tumor suppression and reduce radiation injury to normal thoracic organs. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining LRT with consolidation chemoimmunotherapy in unresectable stage III LA-NSCLC patients who show suboptimal tumor response to prior neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy, through a single-arm Phase II clinical trial. Patients will receive thoracic LRT delivered by a medical linear accelerator. High-dose spherical sub-targets will be contoured within the gross tumor volume of primary lung lesions and regional nodal metastases under standardized dose constraints to spare the lung, heart and esophagus. All enrolled subjects will receive sequential consolidation chemoimmunotherapy administered within one week after finishing LRT. Tumor response, treatment-related adverse events, local tumor control and long-term survival outcomes will be prospectively tracked throughout treatment and long-term follow-up.

Подробное описание

This open-label, single-arm Phase II clinical trial investigates the combination of lattice radiation therapy (LRT) and subsequent consolidation chemoimmunotherapy for patients with unresectable stage III locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer who only achieved limited tumor regression after standard neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy induction. LRT, a spatially fractionated radiotherapy technique, generates interleaved high- and low-dose zones inside tumor tissue to enhance local anti-tumor activity while minimizing radiation toxicity to surrounding healthy chest organs. Eligible participants will complete standardized thoracic LRT targeting primary lesions and involved lymph nodes following institutional contouring rules and dose restrictions. Consolidation chemoimmunotherapy will be initiated shortly after the end of radiotherapy. The study will continuously monitor all treatment-related and immune-related adverse events, evaluate therapeutic efficacy via regular imaging scans, and collect long-term survival data. Trial results will provide clinical evidence about the clinical value and safety profile of LRT plus consolidation chemoimmunotherapy for this high-risk LA-NSCLC subgroup with insufficient response to prior neoadjuvant systemic therapy.

Вмешательства

• Лучевая терапия lattice radiation therapy
  Eligible stage III unresectable LA-NSCLC patients with suboptimal neoadjuvant response receive thoracic lattice radiotherapy via linear accelerator. Spherical high-dose LRT sub-targets are contoured inside primary and nodal GTV, avoiding blood vessels with 1cm margin and 1%-10% volume ratio of GTV. Standard fractional dose constraints for GTV and LRT targets are followed, with minimal radiation to heart, lung and esophagus. Brain and bone metastases get separate palliative radiotherapy, not incl
