1 IGRT for lung cancer; does XRT dose escalation improve outcome? Jeffrey Bradley, M.D. Associate Professor Department of Radiation Oncology Washington University and The Alvin J. Siteman Comprehensive Cancer Center St. Louis, MO

2 Topics to discuss Intergroup Trial (RTOG 0617) IGRT Tools for Delivery FDG-PET 4-dimensional CT (x,y,z, and time) Gating Intensity modulation (IMRT) Toxicity Parameters

3 Randomized Phase III Comparison of Standard Radiotherapy (60 Gy) Vs High-Dose Radiotherapy (74 Gy) with Concurrent and Consolidation Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients with Stage IIIA/IIIB NSCLC RTOG 0617 NCCTG N0628 CALGB ECOG R0617

4 RTOG 0617 / Intergroup Stratify Initial Design Amendment RT method 3D vs IMRT 60 Gy / 2 Gy 60 Gy with weekly Carbo/paclitaxel Consolidation carbo/paclitaxel x 2 Zubrod PS 0 vs 1 PET Y vs N Histo Sq vs Non Sq Carboplatin and Paclitaxel weekly 74 Gy /2Gy Carboplatin and paclitaxel weekly 60 Gy with weekly carbo/paclitaxel + Cetuximab 74 Gy with weekly carbo/paclitaxel 74 Gy with weekly carbo/paclitaxel + Cetuximab Consolidation Carbo/paclitaxel x 2 Cetuximab Consolidation carbo/paclitaxel x 2 Consolidation Carbo/paclitaxel x 2 Cetuximab

Deasy, PhD

6 Primary Objectives To compare overall survival of patients treated with high-dose versus standard dose radiation therapy given with concurrent chemotherapy To compare the overall survival of patients treated with cetuximab versus without cetuximab given with concurrent chemotherapy

10 Optimizing Radiotherapy: 60 vs 74 Gy STD dose High Dose VS Tumor = Tumor = 60 cgy* = 74 cgy = *60 Gy to the PTV = 63 Gy to isocenter (9410 dose)

12 Radiation Techniques for RTOG 0617 Goal: Generate guidelines that incorporate new technology Dose prescribed to the PTV so that 95% of the PTV receives the prescribed dose Heterogeneity corrections required PET or PET/CT RTP encouraged IMRT allowed Tumor motion (one of the following required) ITV method (inhalation/exhalation fusion or 4DCT) Breath hold Gating

13 60 Gy Dose Question: Red iso = 68 Gy Yellow iso = 63 Gy Green iso = 60 Gy New 60 Gy is similar to the old Gy

14 IMRT allowed (1 st NCI trial) NCI Guidelines - Protocol must specify patient and tumor immobilization and localization Tumor motion should be 5 5 mm using spirometry, abd compression, 4DCT or inhalation/exhalation h l techniques Protocol provides rationale for IM and SM components of PTV margin Heterogeneity corrected doses Institutional credentialing and central QA
