1 Review of Workflow NRG (RTOG) 1308: Phase III Randomized Trial Comparing Overall Survival after Photon versus Proton Chemoradiation Therapy for Inoperable Stage II-IIIB NSCLC 1

Lin, MD, PhD, MD Anderson Quality of Life: Xin Shelley Wang, MD, MD Anderson Outcomes: Ben Movsas, MD, Henry Ford Health System Comparative Cost Effectiveness: Deborah Bruner, RN, PhD, Emory University Gregory Russo, MD, Boston University School of Medicine 2

3 Specific hypotheses When standard constraints on radiation dose and volume to organs at risk (OARs) are used, proton beam therapy will allow lower doses to critical organs and higher doses to be delivered to the target compared with photons, which will result in an improvement of median survival time from 21 months (control arm) to 28 months (proton arm) in patients with good performance status and stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

4 RTOG 1308 Schema S T R A T I F Y Stage 1.II 2.IIIA 3.IIIB Histology 1.Squamous 2.Non Squamous Concurrent Chemotherapy Doublet Type 1.Carboplatin/paclitaxel 2.Cisplatin/etoposide R A N D O M I Z E Arm 1: Photon dose 70 Gy*, at 2 Gy (RBE) once daily plus platinumbased doublet chemotherapy** Arm 2: Proton dose 70 Gy (RBE), at 2 Gy once daily plus platinumbased doublet chemotherapy** Both Arms: Consolidation chemotherapy x 2cycles required for patients who receive concurrent carboplatin and paclitaxel*** *The total prescribed dose will be 70 Gy (Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE)) without exceeding tolerance dose-volume limits of all critical normal structures. (See Section when 70 Gy (RBE) is not achieved) **Chemotherapy delivered concurrently, cisplatin/ etoposide or carboplatin/paclitaxel doublets,isrequired. The site/investigator must declare the chemotherapy regimen that the patient will receive prior to the patient s randomization.see Section 7.0 for details. ***If carboplatin and paclitaxel is administered concurrently with radiotherapy, 2 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel consolidation chemotherapy are required. If cisplatin and etoposide is administered concurrently with radiotherapy, consolidation chemotherapy is not allowed. 4

5 Primary Objective To compare the overall survival (OS) in patients with stage II-IIIB NSCLC after image guided, motionmanaged photon radiotherapy (Arm 1) or proton radiotherapy (Arm 2) both given with concurrent platinum- based chemotherapy. Survival time is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death of any cause

6 Secondary Objectives To compare 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) between the 2 arms; To compare the development of grade 3 or higher adverse events definitely, probably, or possibly related to treatment (see Section 13.2 for specific adverse events). To compare the development of patient-reported outcome symptom burden [MDASI-Lung]), Shortness Breath Questionnaire [SOBQ] Health utility EuroQol [EQ5D] To compare cost-effectiveness outcomes To compare pulmonary function changes by treatment arms and response; To explore the most appropriate and clinically relevant technological parameters to ensure quality and effectiveness (imaging, simulation, immobilization, target and critical structure definition, treatment planning, image guidance and delivery).
