Phase II Evaluation With Safety Run-in of Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation for T1-2a N1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Conventionally fractionated radiation therapy given over 6-7 weeks alone, sequentially, or
concurrent with chemotherapy have produced poor outcomes in Stage II NSCLC in most series.
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has been shown to be very effective and is now
standard of care for Stage 1 disease. There has been initially reluctance to utilize SABR for
central lung tumors because of published reports that showed an excess of toxicity when SABR
was utilized; however, newer data with less intense treatment regimens suggest safety in
treatment of central lung disease. The safety and efficacy of SABR in treating hilar nodes or
N1 disease currently is not known fully and will be evaluated in this study.

1. Primary Objectives Safety run-in - To determine the safety of SABR for the treatment of
primary lung disease and N1 (hilar) node in stage T1-2a N1 NSCLC Phase II - To determine
2-year local control of SABR for T1-2a N1 NSCLC with sequential chemotherapy

2. Secondary Objectives Phase II - To determine overall and progression-free survival
times, pattern of failures, and rates of ≥ grade 3 adverse events after SABR for T1-2a
N1 NSCLC combined with sequential chemotherapy

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age ≥ 18 years old at time of consent

2. Ability to provide written informed consent and HIPAA authorization

3. Pathological diagnosis of NSCLC lung cancer

4. Staging PET/CT within 45 days of consult

5. EBUS or other histologic confirmation of N1 involvement (diagnosis of lung cancer
should come from the hilar [N1] disease)

6. T1/2a <5cm lung primary

7. N1 disease <5cm

8. Patient refuses surgery or deemed inoperable

9. KPS of > 60

10. Baseline labs including CBC/differential and BMP within 45 days of consult

11. CBC/differential with adequate bone marrow function defined as follows:

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3

2. Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/mm3

3. Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dl (Note: The use of transfusion or other intervention to
achieve Hgb ≥ 8.0 g/dl is acceptable.)

12. Adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine within normal institutional limits
or creatinine clearance must be at least 20 ml/min

13. Adequate hepatic function defined as total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of normal
(ULN) for the institution and ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3.0 x ULN for the
institution

14. If a pleural effusion is present, the following criteria must be met at registration
to exclude malignant involvement (incurable M1a disease):

1. When pleural fluid is visible on both the CT scan and on a chest x-ray, a
pleuracentesis is required to confirm that the pleural fluid is cytologically
negative;

2. Effusions that are minimal (i.e. not visible under ultrasound guidance) and that
are too small to safely tap are eligible.

15. Women of childbearing potential and male participants must practice adequate
contraception throughout the study

16. Patients with post-obstructive pneumonia are eligible provided they no longer require
intravenous antibiotics at registration

17. Eligible for adjuvant chemotherapy as determined by the treating medical oncologist

Exclusion Criteria

1. Previous radiation therapy overlapping with current radiation target as determined by
the discretion of the investigator

2. Inability to comply with treatment per investigator discretion.

3. Inability to follow standard of care follow up recommendations per investigator
discretion.

4. Pregnant and breastfeeding women

5. Contra-indication to platinum-based two drug chemotherapy as determined by the
treating medical oncologist

6. Patients with a history of chronic kidney disease or lactic acidosis

7. Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:

i. Uncontrolled neuropathy ≥ grade 2 regardless of cause ii. Unstable angina and/or
congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months iii.
Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months iv. Acute bacterial or
fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration v.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness
requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy within 30 days of registration
vi. Severe hepatic disease, defined as a diagnosis of Child-Pugh Class B or C hepatic
disease vii. HIV positive with CD4 count < 200 cells/microliter. Note that patients
who are HIV positive are eligible, provided they are under treatment with highly
active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and have a CD4 count ≥ 200 cells/microliter
within 30 days prior to registration. Note also that HIV testing is not required for
eligibility for this protocol.

viii. End-stage renal disease (i.e. on dialysis or dialysis has been recommended).
