Purpose

This is a randomized phase II study designed to evaluate the effect of local consolidative radiation therapy (LCT) to all sites of oligoprogressive disease in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung carcinoma who have progressed through first line systemic therapy containing an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI).

Detailed Description

      Primary Objective: To compare overall survival (OS) from the time of the time of
      randomization between the treatment and control groups.

      Secondary Objective(s)

        -  To compare the extra-CNS PFS2 (EC-PFS2), defined as the time to extracranial disease
           progression on second line systemic therapy or death from the first day of local
           consolidative radiation therapy (treatment group) or from the start of second line
           therapy (control group).

        -  To evaluate time to initiation of second line systemic therapy or palliative care after
           completion of local consolidative therapy in the treatment group

        -  To compare the toxicities in the treatment and control groups;

        -  To compare overall progression free survival from the time of the first day of local
           consolidative radiation therapy for the treatment group and from the start of second
           line therapy for the control group

        -  To compare the pattern of next progression on second line therapy in the treatment group
           vs the control group.

        -  To evaluate local progression in lesions treated with local consolidative radiation
           therapy.

                 infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, symptomatic congestive heart failure,
                 unstable angina pectoris, unstable cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social
                 situations that would limit compliance with study requirements as determined by the
                 treating physician.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Overall Survival
    Time Frame:3 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:In each arm overall survival will be defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. . Patients who are alive at the last follow up at the end of the study will be censored at the date of the last follow up appointment. A comparison of overall survival between the two groups will be made first using bivariate Kaplan-Meier method and then a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. Participants who do not die during the course of observation will be right censored. Key covariates to be included in multivariable modeling include age, ECOG status, number of progressive treated sites (1 vs 2-4), and PD-L1 status (>=50%; 1%-49%; < 1%).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Time to Progression Between Both Arms
    Time Frame:3 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Investigators will compare progression after second line of therapy between both arms first using the bivariate Kaplan-Meier method and then a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model age, ECOG status, number of progressive treated sites (1 vs 2-4), and PD-L1 status (>=50%; 1%-49%; < 1%). RECIST version 1.1 criteria will be used to assess for progression.
    Measure:Time to Second Line of Systemic Therapy or Palliative Care (Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy Arm Only)
    Time Frame:Up to 2 years after the completion of intervention
    Safety Issue:
    Description:The time to the second line systemic therapy or palliative care will be defined as the time from the completion of local consolidation therapy to the first day of cycle 1 of a systemic therapy the patient has not yet received OR the date of hospice enrollment, whichever is sooner. Patients experiencing neither of these events will be censored at last follow up visit. Estimated median time to second line therapy (or palliative care) and corresponding 95% confidence interval as well as estimated proportion (and corresponding 95% confidence interval) of the treatment group who have started second-line therapy (or palliative care) by key time points including 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after the end of local consolidative therapy.
    Measure:Incidences of Toxicities
    Time Frame:Up to 3 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Toxicities will be evaluated per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Toxicities between the two arms by comparing the proportions with grade 2 or higher, and grade 3 or higher, toxicities of any type at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months following randomization using a chi-square test on the relevant 2x2 contingency table.
    Measure:Progression Free Survival
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Progression free survival will be assessed by a modified RECIST version 1.1 criteria. If any individual target lesion meets RECIST v1.1 criteria - specifically an increase in the longest diameter (shortest diameter for lymph node lesions) of at least 20% and 5 mm absolute increase, the patient will be considered to have progression of disease. The criteria for determining pseudoprogression versus true progression and for mild progression while systemic therapy is held for the delivery of local consolidative radiation therapy in the treatment arm will be used for this outcome measure as well. Repeat oligoprogression will also be counted as progressive disease.
    Measure:Time to Next Progression Following Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy or Second Line Systemic Therapy
    Time Frame:Up to 3 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:The pattern of next progression following local consolidation therapy (in treatment group) or second line systemic therapy (in control group) into one of three possible mutually exclusive and exhaustive categories: No progression, repeat oligoprogression or polyprogression, and will compare these patterns between the two groups using a chi-square analysis on the resulting 2x3 contingency table.
    Measure:Proportion of Local of Lesions Treated with Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy That Progress
    Time Frame:Up to 5 years
    Safety Issue:
    Description:Investigators will estimate proportion of lesions treated with local consolidative radiation therapy that experienced local progression (yes/no by study end) and construct a 95% confidence interval around this estimate.
