Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of radiation therapy when given together with cisplatin and etoposide in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Drugs, such as cisplatin, may make tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Giving radiation therapy together with cisplatin and etoposide may kill more tumor cells.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Treatment (radiation therapy and chemotherapy)
- description
- Patients undergo 3D-CRT or IMRT 5 days a week for 8 weeks. Patients also receive cisplatin IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 28, and 36 and etoposide IV over 60 minutes on days 1-5, and 28-32.
- interventionNames
- Radiation: 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
- Radiation: intensity-modulated radiation therapy
- Drug: cisplatin
- Drug: etoposide
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- MTD of radiotherapy, in terms of number of daily fractions, that can be delivered using 3D-CRT or IMRT with the standard cisplatin/etoposide regimen
- timeFrame
- Up to 8 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
- description
- The MTD will be the highest dose at which no more than one of six patients experience a dose-limiting toxicity. Toxicity will be scored using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria version 4.0.
