Positron Emission Tomography Pre- and Post-treatment Assessment For Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine whether peak standardized uptake value (SUV) for fludeoxyglucose F 18
positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) shortly after definitive chemoradiotherapy is
predictive of long-term survival of patients with inoperable stage IIB or III non-small
cell lung cancer.

Secondary

- Determine whether max SUV for FDG-PET shortly after definitive chemoradiotherapy is
predictive of long-term survival in these patients.

- Determine whether post-treatment imaging using peak and max SUV for FDG-PET shortly
after definitive chemoradiotherapy is predictive of local disease control in these
patients.

- Determine whether pre-treatment imaging using these techniques is predictive of
long-term survival and local disease control in these patients.

- Correlate, if possible, Ki-67 expression with overall survival of patients assessed
with these imaging techniques.

OUTLINE: This is a diagnostic, multicenter study.

Before starting chemoradiotherapy, patients undergo baseline whole-body positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging. Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 (^18FDG) IV followed 50-70
minutes later by PET imaging. Patients then receive concurrent definitive radiotherapy and
chemotherapy. Patients enrolled in other treatment-oriented clinical trials receive therapy
as per that trial. Other patients receive standard thoracic radiotherapy (dose ≥ 60 Gy) and
standard chemotherapy comprising a platin (cisplatin or carboplatin) and a second
non-platin, non-gemcitabine drug (etoposide, vinblastine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, or
docetaxel). Approximately 14 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant
chemotherapy (if given), patients undergo post-treatment ^18FDG-PET imaging.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for at least 1
year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 250 patients (including at least 75 with stage IIB/IIIA
disease and at least 75 with stage IIIB disease) will be accrued for this study within 2
years.
