2013 • In patients with infiltrative stage III (N2,3) NSCLC and performance status 0-1 being considered for curative-intent treatment, combination platinum-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy (60-66 Gy) are recommended (Grade 1A) • Remark: Dose escalation of radiotherapy is not recommended (except in a clinical trial) • Remark: For patients with stage IIIB NSCLC, once daily thoracic radiotherapy plus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy is recommended

RTOG 0617 Primary Objective • To compare the overall survival of patients treated with high-dose versus standard-dose conformal radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy. • To compare the overall survival of patients treated with cetuximab versus without cetuximab with concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
RTOG 0617: Trial Design • Stratify: • -RT Technique • (IMRT vs 3D) • -Perf Status • (0 vs 1) • -Histology • (squamvs other) • -PET staging • (yes vs no)
RTOG 0617: Survival by RT Dose 18-Month Survival Rate 66.9% 53.9% Median Survival Time 28.7 months 19.5 months
RTOG 0617: Local Tumor Failure 18-Month Local Progression Rate 34.3% 25.1%
RTOG 0617: Distant Failure 18-Month Failure Rate 47.8% 42.4%
Hypothesis 1: Unbalanced Arms Despite employing standard stratification features, some known or unknown features predictive for toxicity and/or treatment resistance were imbalanced between the arms.
Hypothesis 1: Unbalanced Arms Stratification features employed: RT Technique (IMRT vs 3-D Conformal RT) Zubrod Performance Status Use of PET in Staging Histology (Squamous vs Non-Squamous)
Hypothesis 1: Unbalanced Arms • Any Unknown Features in Play? • Predictors of Treatment Resistance? • Predictors of Sensitivity to Toxicity?
100 NSCLC Patients at U MichiganKaplan-Meier Estimates of Overall Survival According to the Serum MicroRNA Signature P = 0.001 Low risk(N=53) MST = 36.6months High risk (N=47) MST = 13.3 months
Analysis of miRNA Signature and RT DoseBi, …Kong, U Michigan BED< 100Gy, low risk, MST = 33.4 Months (N=38) BED< 100Gy, high risk, MST = 9.9 Months (N=33) BED ≥ 100Gy, low risk, MST = 38.9 Months (N=15) BED ≥ 100Gy, high risk, MST = 19.3 Months (N=14) Log-rank P = 0.001 Patients with high risk miRNA signature benefited from high dose RT, while low risk pts did not.
Hypothesis 2: RT Delivery Issues To meet RT dose constraints, less optimal RT was delivered to the 74 Gy arm patients, leading to poor RT dose distribution and an influence on toxicity and/or tumor control.
RTOG 0617Definitely, Probably, or Possibly Related to Treatment (CTCAE Version 3.0)
What might have happened? • 74 Gy given over too long an interval? • Possibly. • Unreported Toxicity? • Chemotherapy delivery/compliance? • No evidence of this • RT compliance; GTV misses? • Under review • Heart dose • Under review
Hypothesis 3: Pt-Reported Outcomes (PRO) may help Patient-reported outcomes were effectively collected in the trial and may be illuminating.
RTOG 0617 PRO Methods QOL was collected prospectively via a validated lung cancer instrument: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Trial Outcome Index (FACT-TOI) FACT-TOI = Physical Well Being (PWB) + Functional Well Being (FWB) + Lung Cancer Subscale (LCS) Data was collected at baseline, 3 months & 12 months via clinically meaningful changes of >2 points for PWB, FWB or LCS, or >5 points for TOI
Change in Lung Cancer Symptoms (LCS) p=0.024 p=0.7 LCS Decline
Results: Baseline FACT and OS Baseline QOL (whether PWB, FWB, or FACT-TOI) also predicted for survival in multivariate analysis, p=<0.02 independent of RT dose assignment. Every 10 points higher on the FACT-TOI at baseline corresponded to a 14% decreased risk of death Is this the unknown variable not used in stratification?
Why Did 74.0 Gy Fail? • Still under many realms of investigation • 74.0 Gy as delivered in this trial of this patient subgroup is associated with poorer survival than standard dose RT • The results provides greater support for more RT dose/volume investigations for stage III NSCLC

Conclusions Modified fractionation radiotherapy significantly improves overall survival in NSCLC No significant effect on progression-free survival or loco-regional failure (BURDEN OF DISTANT FAILURE) Increased acute esophageal toxicity (OR=2.44, p=0,01) in experimental treatments Higher technology RT, better selection of patients: encouraging results in recent studies with better management of toxicity! LARGE STUDIES NEEDED: 60-66 Gy with platin based ccCTRT still the standard
MO23 RADIOTHERAPY II Four-dimensional Gallium-68 perfusion PET/CT scans can improve radiotherapy planning through functional avoidance of lungShankar Siva Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Melbourne • How to adapt the treatment plan during the course of RT in case of perfusion modification? This isonly an image at one time • Is it possible to performthisstudy on a large cohort and to correlateitwith an evaluation of toxicity 14 patients RT plan optimised to spare functionally perfused and high perfused lung volume Conclusion : a large improvement was observed mainly for the treatment plan optimized to the high perfused lung volume
Background • High local recurrence rates in stage III NSCLC • PD on imaging: 30-40 % • Bronchoscopy series: 80 % • Most recurrences are irresectable • Low success rates with second line systemic treatment for local recurrences • 15-25 % remissions • Median OS 4-8 months • Dramatic improvement of imaging and RT techniques (SBRT, VMAT …) • High-dose irradiation is technically feasible in selected patients
Question 1: Is it safe? • Grade 5 aortic toxicity = 25 % with composite doses ≥ 120 Gy (vs. 0% for patients receiving <120 Gy) (p = 0.047) to 1 cm3 of the aorta (Evans et al. RadiotherOncol 2013). • Safe if • Accumulated V20 of the lungs is < 16 % • Accumulated Dmax to the heart < 115 Gy3 • Accumulated Dmax to the trachea < 89 Gy3 and < 85 Gy3 to the oesophagus. (Meijneke et al. RadiotherOncol 2013). • Retrospective (except 1) • Small series • Different treatments (primary and re-RT) • Short follow-up • Different second-line therapy • Different endpoints • Often no detailed DVH parameters available
Conclusion: Is it safe? • Many uncertainties remain • Possibly safe when conservative constraints are used. • Repair possibilities: Many unknowns. • Use cumulative doses • Use elastic deformation algorithms • Importance of patient information!
Question 2: Is it worthwhile? • Overall survival: Unclear • Median OS: 13 months after a median interval between primary therapy and RT for recurrence 19 months • Patients also receive systemic therapy • Progression-free survival postpone systemic treatment: Likely • Median TTP (any place): 10 months • Quality of life: No data • Symptom control vs. palliative doses: Unclear
Question 3: Can we select patients for high-dose re-irradiation? • Probably (rational): • Good general condition • Single recurrence • Preferably suitable for SBRT • Doses and fractionation similar to those of primary lung cancer? • Lesion diameter < 3-4 cm • Cumulative doses to OAR below constraints for primary irradiation based on elastic deformation
General conclusion • In selected patients, high-dose re-irradiation may be considered • Most realistic aim in the majority of patients: postpone systemic treatment • Inform your patient about the uncertainties • Obvious need for a randomised (phase II) trial
Future directions • Improvepatientsselection(Gene profile, microRNAsignature) • Predictors of Sensitivity to Toxicity (IL-6, TGFβ….) • Improve protocol for delineation of target volume and OAR, increase RT dose/volume investigations • Well designed large randomized trials (No induction/consolidationchemotherapy)
