Description:
This trial is a randomized, 2-arm, phase II study to determine the effect, if any, of the
timing of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) relative to immune checkpoint inhibitor (IO)
therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread (metastasized) to
the brain.

Purpose
This trial is a randomized, 2-arm, phase II study to determine the effect, if any, of the
timing of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) relative to immune checkpoint inhibitor (IO)
therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread (metastasized) to
the brain.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Immediate SRS followed by IO | Experimental | Participants will receive SRS followed by physician's choice of standard of care immunotherapy, given at the FDA-approved dose within 14 days of SRS. | |
Immediate IO followed by SRS | Experimental | Participants will receive physician's choice of immunotherapy, given at the FDA-approved dose followed by SRS, if deemed appropriate, at the time of intracranial progression. | |
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have 1 to 15 newly diagnosed brain metastases, ≤3 cm in the largest
dimension, with at least one metastasis measuring ≥0.5 cm.
- Primary tumor histology must be one confirmed as one of the following:
- Squamous NSCLC
- Adenocarcinoma NSCLC
- Not otherwise specified NSCLC
- Patient must be able and willing to undergo a thin cut MRI at Duke, which is required
for study entry.
- Patient must be planned for immunotherapy treatment as their next systemic therapy,
including monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy.
- Patients previously treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) may be eligible, if
a second line (or later) immunotherapy regimen is planned.
- Patients must be asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic, requiring the equivalent of ≤2
mg dexamethasone/day for at least 7 days prior to enrollment.
- Female and male subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use an adequate
method of contraception as outlined in the Duke Contraception Policy.
- Age ≥18 years of age at the time of entry into the study.
- Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) ≥70.
- Prothrombin and Partial Thromboplastin Times ≤1.2 x normal
- Neutrophil count ≥1000
- Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dl
- Platelet count ≥100,000/µl
- Creatinine ≤1.2 x normal range.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients on the equivalent of >2 mg of dexamethasone daily ≤ 7 days before receiving
study treatment
- Patients who have previously receive whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT).
- Patients must not have ever received immunotherapy in the stage IV setting. Prior
immune therapy as part of treatment for stage I-III disease is allowed assuming an
interval >6 months has passed from the completion of that therapy.
- Patients with leptomeningeal disease. However, patients with discrete dural-based
lesions may be eligible.
- Females who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
- Patients with an impending, life-threatening cerebral hemorrhage or herniation, based
on the assessment from a brain MRI of the study neurosurgeons or their designate.
- Patients with severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
- Patients with an active infection requiring intravenous treatment or having an
unexplained febrile illness (Tmax > 99.5°F/37.5°C)
- Patients with known immunosuppressive disease or known uncontrolled human
immunodeficiency virus infection
- Patients with unstable or severe intercurrent medical conditions such as severe
heart disease (New York Heart Association Class 3 or 4)
- Patients who have not recovered from the toxic effects of prior chemo- and/or
radiation therapy. Guidelines for this recovery period are dependent upon the specific
therapeutic agent being used:
- Patients with prior, unrelated malignancy requiring current active treatment in the
last 3 years with the exception of cervical carcinoma in situ and adequately treated
basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
- Patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to the physician's choice of immune
checkpoint inhibitor, or any components of the inhibitor.
- Patients who have any contraindications to immunotherapy.
- Patients with active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunomodulatory treatment
within the past 3 months.
- History and/or confirmed pneumonitis, or extensive bilateral lung disease on high
resolution/spiral CT scan.

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Intracranial progression free-survival |
Time Frame: | from randomization through study completion, an average of 3 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Defined as defined as time to intracranial progression from randomization measured by by RANO-BM criteria for radiographic progression on contrast-enhanced brain MRI |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Assess quality of life in each arm by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Brain questionnaire |
Time Frame: | 1 year |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | as measured on a 5 point Likert-type scale from 0 (not at all) through 4 (very much) where the higher score reflects better quality of life |
Measure: | Assess neurocognitive outcome in each arm by the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised |
Time Frame: | 1 year |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | as measured by recall scores with higher values indicating better outcomes |
Measure: | Assess neurocognitive outcome in each arm by the Trail Making Test Parts A and B |
Time Frame: | 1 year |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | scored as average or deficient based on time to complete the activity |
Measure: | Assess neurocognitive outcome in each arm by the Controlled Oral Word Association test |
Time Frame: | 1 year |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | scored as the number of words completed in one minute, with higher score indicating better outcome |
