The Value of Radiotherapy in the Oligometastatic Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Clinical Benefits From Erlotinib as Second-line Treatment: a Randomized Controlled Phase II Clinical Trial


Inclusion Criteria:



1. Has signed informed consent;

2. Male or female aged 18 years or older;

3. Histologically or cytologically identified non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer;

4. PS score 0-2;

5. Stage IV patients with distant metastasis (according to the latest AJCC/UICC lung
cancer staging, upper neck lymph nodes belonging to distant metastases;
ipsilateral/contralateral mediastinal lymph nodes, supraclavicular and lower neck
lymph nodes belonging to local regional areas and are not included in distant
metastases), who occurred disease progression after receiving a course of systemic
chemotherapy, or who hadn't complete the planned course of the first-line
chemotherapy but they were intolerance or refused to continue treatment;

6. Received second-line erlotinib treatment;

7. The patients who taking erlotinib for 3 months then the efficacy evaluation found
clinical benefits (CR+PR+SD);

8. Metastatic NSCLC with distant metastases number ≤ 5 (for metastases in the same
organ, the number counted as the separate metastatic focus) and the longest diameter
of each metastatic foci on CT should > 1cm, but brain (including the parenchyma and
meninges) metastasis, malignant pleural/pericardial effusion, or abdominal effusion
were not allowed;

9. Have never received local treatment, including surgery, radiation therapy, and
radiofrequency ablation for primary and distant metastases;

10. Patients must received systemic PET-CT examination before treatment with erlotinib,
to more accurately identify the status of patients with distant metastases;

11. The diagnosis of bone and liver metastases:

1. On the basis of clinical symptoms, an imaging support was necessary for the
clinical diagnosis of bone metastases; if the clinical symptoms were absent, two
imaging supports of bone metastases were necessary for the clinical diagnosis of
bone metastasis; adjacent bone metastases (such as the two adjacent vertebral
metastases) was considered to be a single metastasis.

2. MRI or enhanced CT confirmations were needed for liver metastases diagnosis;

12. Have never received other targeted drug treatments for EGFR inhibition;

13. If metastases in a same organ ≤ 4 and the amount of metastatic focus ≤ 5, it should
be determined by the radiation therapists in the research group to judge if the
patients can tolerate all positive focus (including primary and metastatic focus)
receiving radiotherapy, the radiotherapy dose should be selected by treating
physician according to the patients' conditions from several regimens including
conventional split curative doses or palliative doses, and hypofractionated
radiotherapy (for details please refer to the radiation therapy section);

14. Organ function levels must meet the following requirements:

1. Bone marrow: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 × 109/L, platelets ≥ 80 ×
109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/L;

2. Liver: serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times of the upper limit of normal, alanine
aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 times of the
upper limit of normal (if liver metastases existing, ALT, AST ≤ 5 times of the
upper limit of normal were allowed) ;

3. Kidney: serum creatinine ≤ 2 times of the upper limit of normal or creatinine
clearance ≥ 45mL/min;

15. For female patients: must after natural menopause, surgical menopause, or used any
medical allowed contraceptive method during treatment and within 3 months after
treatment completion; serum or urine pregnancy test must be negative; mustn't be in
lactation. For male patients: surgical sterilization, or took contraceptive measures
during treatment and within 3 months after treatment completion.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma, or mixed with small cell
components in non-small cell lung cancer;

2. With brain metastasis regardless of parenchymal or meningeal metastasis;

3. Malignant pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or peritoneal effusion;

4. The longest diameter of metastatic focus on CT were <1cm, or the amount of metastatic
focus > 5;

5. Metastases appeared within a same organ simultaneously;

6. The efficacy evaluation after erlotinib treatment for 3 months showed PD (progression
of disease);

7. Local treatment had been used for the primary and distant metastatic focus;

8. Radiation therapists thought that the patient couldn't tolerate/receive radiotherapy
for all the focus;

9. Has previously suffered from interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial
lung disease, or any active interstitial lung disease with clinical evidences;

10. Chest CT found idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis;

11. Patients with multiple pulmonary bullae, chronic lung disease, or acute lung
infection;

12. With any chronic toxicity induced by previous anti-cancer treatment, it was
undimunished and higher than CTCAE level 2;

13. Diagnosed or accompanied by any other malignant disease (except basal cell carcinoma
or cervical carcinoma in situ) over the past five years;

14. According to the judgments of the investigators, there was any serious or
uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g. heart, liver, or kidney disease) or active
infection;

15. Combined use with phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampicin, phenobarbital, or St. John's
wort;

16. Naïve patients who have never received chemotherapy;

17. With previously clear history of neurological or psychiatric disorder, such as
dementia;

18. Pregnancy or lactating patients;

19. Patients receiving other anti-tumor medicine not for this study.
