Eligibility

Who can join

The film gives the main points. The full list below is copied from the registry; the study team makes the final decision.

  • Age18 Years to no maximum
  • SexAll
  • Healthy volunteersNo

You may be able to join if

  • Histopathologic diagnosis of NSCLC, may have mixed or multiple histologies but no small cell component
  • No known EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement
  • No metastatic disease (M0) per most recent PET/CT and head CT/MRI imaging
  • No disease progression per CT chest (including upper abdomen as per standard practice) with intravenous (IV) contrast (unless IV contrast is contraindicated) or FDG-PET performed post-neoadjuvant therapy ≤ 90 days prior to registration, either before or after surgery
  • No metastatic disease (M0) per head CT/MRI imaging
  • Prior treatment with 2-4 cycles of neoadjuvant systemic therapy with any guideline (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN]) concordant regimen
  • Lobectomy or greater oncologic surgical resection within 8 weeks prior to registration
  • Complete (R0) resection showing ypN2 disease
  • No prior radiotherapy to the lungs or mediastinum
  • No treatment with a VEGF inhibitor ≤ 90 days prior to registration or plan to treat with adjuvant systemic therapy including a VEGF inhibitor
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm^3
  • Platelet count ≥ 50,000/mm^3
  • Calculated (Calc.) creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Not pregnant, because this study involves radiation therapy, which has known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects. Therefore, for women of childbearing potential only, a negative urine or serum pregnancy test done ≤ 7 days prior to registration is required
  • Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
  • Cardiac function: Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
  • No idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis requiring anti-fibrotic medication: Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or inflammatory/interstitial lung disease compromising pulmonary function or requiring ongoing treatment with nintedanib, pirfenidone, or other anti-fibrotic drug are excluded
  • HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with an undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial

The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

Treatments listed in the registry

  • Chemotherapy (Drug): Receive standard of care chemotherapy
  • Immunotherapy (Other): Receive standard of care immunotherapy
  • Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (Radiation): Undergo I²-PORT
  • Computed Tomography (Procedure): Undergo CT
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Procedure): Undergo MRI
  • Fludeoxyglucose F-18 (Other): Undergo FDG PET scan
  • Biospecimen Collection (Procedure): Undergo blood sample collection

The study

Treatment groups

Randomized · Parallel · masking: None

Arm I (SOC chemotherapy/immunotherapy) (Active Comparator)

Patients receive SOC chemotherapy or immunotherapy on study. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT and/or MRI, FDG-PET, and blood sample collection throughout the study.

Arm II (I²-PORT, SOC chemotherapy/immunotherapy) (Experimental)

Patients undergo I²-PORT QD Monday through Friday over 15-25 fractions over 5-6 weeks. Starting 1-42 days after completion of I²-PORT, patients receive SOC chemotherapy or immunotherapy on study. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT and/or MRI, FDG-PET, and blood sample collection throughout the study.

What it involves

Procedures

As the registry describes them. Requirements to join, such as a tissue sample, are in the eligibility list above even when on-study procedures are optional. Ask the study team which steps apply to you.

  • blood samples: Part of the study plan
  • CT scans: Part of the study plan
  • MRI: Part of the study plan
  • PET scans: Part of the study plan
  • surgery: Part of the study plan
  • radiation: Part of the study plan

Goals

What the study measures

Main goals

  • Disease-free survival (DFS) (Time from the date of randomization to the date of earliest disease recurrence/progression or deaths of all causes, assessed up to 5 years)
  • Incidence of late grade ≥ 3 cardiopulmonary toxicities (Between 3 and 24 months after protocol therapy)

Other goals

  • 5-year DFS
  • 2-year overall survival (OS)
  • 5-year OS
  • Patient-reported symptoms

Planned enrollment: 164 (estimated).
