Brief Title: Maintenance Chemotherapy Versus Consolidative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Plus Maintenance Chemotherapy for Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): A Randomized Phase II Trial
Official Title: Maintenance Chemotherapy Versus Consolidative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Plus Maintenance Chemotherapy for Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): A Randomized Phase II Trial
Study ID: NCT02045446
Brief Summary: The core hypothesis to be tested is that the use of consolidative SBRT followed by maintenance chemotherapy in patients with less than or equal to 6 metastatic sites (primary + 5) will improve progression free survival (PFS) compared to maintenance chemotherapy alone.
Detailed Description: This protocol is a randomized phase II trial of maintenance chemotherapy versus consolidative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) plus maintenance chemotherapy for patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Prior to accrual on the trial, patients with Stage IV NSCLC will be treated with standard first-line chemotherapy. Patients who achieve a partial response or stable disease by imaging criteria with fewer than or equal to six sites of oligometastatic disease will be randomized to maintenance chemotherapy or consolidative SBRT to all sites of disease (followed by maintenance chemotherapy at the medical oncologist's discretion). Choices of first line and maintenance chemotherapy will be determined by the medical oncologist based on clinical appropriateness.
