Scientific titleADSCaN: A Randomised Phase II trial of Accelerated, Dose escalated, Sequential Chemo-radiotherapy in Non small cell lung cancer
Study acronymADSCaN
Study hypothesisThis trial will take 4 dose escalated accelerated sequential chemo-radiotherapy schedules into a randomized phase II comparison with a UK standard sequential chemo-radiotherapy using state
of-the art radiotherapy. The overall aim of the trial is to identify which of the 4 experimental arms is the best schedule to take forward into a future randomised Phase III study.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 08/11/2016, West of Scotland REC 1 (Clinical Research & Development, West Glasgow Ambulatory Care Hospital, Dalnair Street, Glasgow, G3 8SW), REC ref: 16/WS/0165
ConditionStage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
InterventionMinimisation incorporating a random factor will be used to allocate patients between treatment arms A:B:C:D:E so that an overall study ratio of 2:1:1:1:1 is achieved. Patients will only be randomised between the arms currently available at their hospital.

Arm A (Standard Arm): Patients will receive one radiotherapy session per day for 4 weeks (55Gy in 20 fractions over 26-28 days)

Arm B CHART-ED: Patients will receive 3 radiotherapy sessions per day for 2½ weeks (54Gy, 36 fractions, 12 days then 10.8Gy, 6 fractions (day 15-17)).

Arm C: IDEAL: Patients will receive one radiotherapy session per day for 5 weeks (Isotoxic radiotherapy 30 fractions, 5 weeks, prescribed dose 63-71Gy).

Arm D: I-START: Patients will receive one radiotherapy session per day for 4 weeks (Isotoxic radiotherapy 20 fractions, 4 weeks total dose of 55 – 65 Gy).

Arm E: Isotoxic IMRT: Patients will receive 2 sessions per day for 4 weeks (Isotoxic regime IMRT, individualised dose escalation to a maximum 79.2Gy in 1.8Gy over 4 weeks BD).

For all trial arms, once patients have completed treatment they will enter follow up and should be reviewed at months - 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24 and 36 from randomisation. Thereafter annual visits should be performed until the end of the study period (June 2021). Follow up visits at more frequent intervals should be undertaken at the discretion of the participating Investigator.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureProgression free survival (PFS) is determined via RECIST reporting of scans performed at disease evaluation visits during follow-up at months 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months
Secondary outcome measures1. Overall survival (OS) is measured by collecting survival status at each follow up visit (months 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 36 and annually until the end of the study period (June 2021)). Cause of death and evidence for cause of death will be recorded by participating sites, and is collected from cancer centres, cancer registries and national databases.
2. Time to local-regional failure is determined via RECIST reporting of scans performed at disease evaluation visits during follow-up at months 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months
3. Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE v4.03 during treatment and during follow-up at months 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 months and annually until end of study
4. Cost Effectiveness is based on quality adjusted life years calculated using resource-use data (delivery of radiotherapy, hospital inpatient/outpatient/high dependency days) and quality of life (EQ-5D) measured during treatment and follow-up (months 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 36 and annually until end of study)

Age groupAdult
SexBoth
Target number of participants360
Participant inclusion criteria1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed stage III NSCLC

4. Patients who have had a complete response, partial response or stable disease on CT assessment after 2 cycles of platinum based chemotherapy
5. Willing and able to give written informed consent
6. Aged 16 or over
7. Adequate PFT results: FEV1 and/or KCO ≥ 40% of predicted
Participant exclusion criteria1. Previous or current malignant disease likely to interfere with the protocol treatment or comparisons
2. Medically unstable (unstable diabetes, uncontrolled arterial hypertension, infection, hypercalcaemia, ischaemic heart disease)
3. Connective tissue disorders (Scleroderma, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)
4. Clinically significant interstitial lung disease
5. History of physical or psychiatric disorder that would prevent informed consent and compliance with protocol
6. Pregnant or lactating women
7. Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical consideration potentially hampering compliance with the trial protocol and follow up schedule
