Study Description

Brief Summary

Phase II clinical trial with metronomic oral vinorelbine and tri-weekly cisplatin as induction therapy and subsequent concomitantly with radiotherapy (RT) in patients with lung cancer (NSCLC) locally advanced unresectable

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

Hypothesis: At present, administration of concomitant chemotherapy and radiation therapy is considered a treatment of choice for patients with unresectable stage III tumor selected clinically.

There is at present a systemic considered standard treatment in combination with radical radiotherapy. Nor is it established a dose of standard radiation therapy, but it is known that should never be less than 60Gy57.

Vinorelbine has shown a strong radio-sensitizer in-vitro37 effect. In the phase II study, The combination of oral vinorelbine with cisplatin as induction therapy and then concomitantly with radiotherapy (66Gy) has provided very encouraging efficacy results. Recently in the vortex scheme cisplatin study with oral vinorelbine concomitant maintained with radiation from the second cycle of chemotherapy was tested.

It is therefore a priority in this segment pathology seeking treatment regimens that improve the effectiveness and toxicity. Metronomic chemotherapy started with the idea of administering a cytostatic divided doses, for an extended period without interruption, can provide the advantage of exposing patients to significant dose chemotherapy without worsening the toxicity profile. All this makes it an attractive treatment strategy, and can also maintain radio sensitizing effect during concomitance.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Efficacy (according to progression-free survival of patient) [From patient inclusion up to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 12 months.]

      To evaluate the efficacy in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) of oral metronomical vinorelbine and cisplatin as an induction treatment and then with concomitant radiotherapy. The PFS is defined as the time from the moment of patient inclusion to the documentation of progression or death from any cause (patients who die without evidence of progression, will be considered events on the date of death.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Response Rate [Measured during the first assessment of the patient, up to 6 weeks from the inclusion of the patient]

      The objective response rate will be calculated from the sum of the number of patients whose best response is complete response and partial response divided by the total number of patients eligible for the analysis.

    2. Overall Survival [From inclusion in the study to death (estimated period 12 months)]

      Overall survival will be measured from the date of patient inclusion until death or loss of follow-up. In patients who have not died, the duration of survival will be censored on the date of the last contact if the patient causes loss of follow-up or on the date of the latest news.

    3. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by common toxicity criteria (CTCAE) v4.0 [From first drug administration to 30 days after last administration and 90 days after radiotherapy]

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years to 75 Years
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All

    No
    Inclusion criteria:
    • Patients with histologically confirmed recent non small cell lung cancer unresectable stage IIIA and IIIB.

    • Perform a baseline positron emission tomography (PET-CT) to rule out the presence of distant disease and confirm that it is a non-NSCLC radical surgical treatment candidate.

    • The positive mediastinal lymph nodes by PET-CT must be confirmed histologically. Mediastinal involvement may be considered without histologically observe when there is a mass of lymph nodes where the margins are not distinguished.

    • At least one measurable lesion on computerized tomography (CT).

    • Performance status 0-1.

    • Life expectancy> 12 weeks.

    • Age ≥18 years and ≤ 75 years.

    • Right renal function: creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg / dl or creatinine clearance> 60 ml / min.

    • Right hematologic function: hemoglobin> 10 g / dl, neutrophils ≥ 1500 / mm3 and platelets ≥ 100,000 / mm3.

    • Right hepatic function: bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of each center, transaminases ≤ 2.5 above the normal limit.

    • Right lung function without bronchodilators: defined by a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)> 50% of predicted normal volume and lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO)> 40% of predicted normal.

    • The proportion of normal lung exposed to> 20 Gy RT (V20) shall be ≤ 35%.This must be fulfilled before the start of treatment cycle 3.

    • Signature of informed consent.

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • Weight loss> 10% in the 3 months prior to study entry.

Those who still remain cytologically negative for malignancy, are exudates also be excluded. It may include those with pleural effusion visible on chest radiography or too small to perform diagnostic puncture safely.
