Omitting CTV for Primary Tumor in LS-SCLC
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Radiation Therapy: Twice-daily (45 Gy/30 fractions) or once-daily (45 Gy/15 fractions) thoracic radiotherapy after 2-4 cycles of chemotherapy
Etoposide + carboplatin; Etoposide + cisplatin: Carboplatin IV (AUC=5) on day 1 combined with etoposide IV (100mg/m2) on days 1-3, or cisplatin IV (25mg/m2) on days 1-3 combined with etoposide IV (100mg/m2) on days 1-3. Treatment is repeated every 21 days for 4-6 cycles.
Creating CTV for primary tumor: A margin of 0.8 cm beyond the gross target volume of primary tumor.
prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI): Beginning 4-6 weeks after chemoradiotherapy completion, patients in both arms who achieve a complete or partial response without brain metastasis receive PCI at 25 Gy/10 fractions or 26 Gy/13 fractions, delivered once daily (5 days per week).
Study summary
This randomized controlled non-inferior trial prospectively enrolled patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). Patients in the experimental group would receive radiotherapy with omission of the clinical target volume (CTV) for the primary tumor, while those in the control group would receive radiotherapy including CTV. The efficacy and toxicity of the two groups are compared to provide evidence for the radiotherapy of LS-SCLC. The target volume of LS-SCLC may be reduced by omitting CTV without increasing local recurrence but potentially reducing the dose to organs at risk and the side effects.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Local progression free survival — From the date chemotherapy commenced to the first clinical or radiological evidence of progressive disease at the primary site or death, whichever occurs first, to be assessed up to 3 years
- Severe toxicity free survival — From the date chemotherapy commenced to the first record of serious adverse events related to radiotherapy, to be assessed up to 3 years
