Phase III Randomized Study of Standard Versus Accelerated Hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) in Patients With Stage II-III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Poor Performance Status


Inclusion Criteria:



- All patients must be willing and capable to provide informed consent to participate
in the protocol.

- Patients must have appropriate staging studies identifying them as AJCC stage II or
III non small cell lung cancer, (according to AJCC Staging, 6th edition; see appendix
III), or recurrent non small cell lung cancer. Histologic confirmation of cancer
will be required by biopsy or cytology within 6 months of study entry.

- Patients must have the potential for benefit from local therapy (at the discretion of
the investigator).

- The patient's Zubrod performance status must be 2 or greater OR patients with Zubrod
performance status 0-1 and weight loss >10% are considered eligible. In addition,
patients determined to be medically unfit or refusing combined modality therapy are
eligible.

- Age ≥ 18.

- Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease.

- Women of childbearing potential and male participants must agree to use an effective
method of contraception.

- Patients must sign study specific informed consent prior to study entry.

- Patients must not have plans for concurrent chemoradiation therapy.

- Patients must complete all required pretreatment evaluations

Exclusion Criteria:

- Total (aggregate) gross tumor volume > 500 cm3 (500 cc's or 0.5 Liters)

- Prior radiotherapy to the region of the study cancer that would result in direct
overlap of radiation therapy fields.

- Chemotherapy given within one week of study registration.

- Pregnant or lactating women, as treatment involves unforeseeable risks to the embryo
or fetus.

Type of Study:
