    Why is this study being done?

    OBJECTIVES: Primary - To ascertain whether patients treated by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) have a 3-year overall survival (OS) rate that is no more than 10% less than patients treated with sublobar resection (SR). Secondary - To compare loco-regional recurrence-free survival between study arms. - To compare disease-free survival between study arms. - To compare grade 3 or higher specific adverse event profiles between study arms at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-therapy. - To compare pulmonary function between patients treated with SBRT and patients treated with SR. - To compare the adverse events and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in each arm for patients with low or high Charlson comorbidity index scores, including a test interaction between Charlson comorbidity index scores (low vs high) and treatment arm. Tertiary - To compare the quality-adjusted survival between the SBRT and SR treatments in terms of time to death (primary) and time until recurrence (secondary). - To examine whether pre-operative and post-operative clinically significant deficits in previously identified prognostic PRO domains (overall quality of life [QOL], fatigue, anxiety, and dyspnea) are associated with shorter patient survival in this patient population and to compare the relative effectiveness of each treatment (SBRT and SR). - To contribute to an ACOSOG bank of normative data in order to improve short/long-term outcomes of cancer patients by identifying patients experiencing clinically significant deficits in patient-reported outcomes and the relationship to genetic variables. - To explore whether blood-based biomarkers, including osteopontins, will be able to predict which patients will be at high risk for recurrence by treatment with either SBRT or SR. (exploratory) - To explore whether blood-based biomarkers, including TGF-β1, will be able to predict which patients will be at high risk for pulmonary complications by treatment with either SBRT or SR. (exploratory) OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to planned brachytherapy (yes vs no) and ECOG performance status (0 vs 1 vs 2). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients undergo sublobar resection comprising either a wedge resection or anatomical segmentectomy with or without intraoperative brachytherapy* comprising an iodine I 125 implant at the resection margin. - Arm II: Patients undergo 3 fractions of stereotactic body radiation therapy at 2-8 days apart. NOTE: *Patients may receive brachytherapy at the discretion of treating physician. Patients may undergo blood sample collection at baseline and periodically during study for correlative studies. Tumor tissue samples may also be collected from patients who undergo resection. Patients complete the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS), the Linear Analogue Self-Assessment (LASA), and the UCDS Shortness of Breath quality-of-life questionnaires at baseline and periodically during study and follow-up. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 1 year, and then yearly for 2 years.

  6. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Versus Sublobar Resection for High-Risk Patients With Early Stage Non-Small Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Rochester, MN View Summary

    Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) Versus Sublobar Resection for High-Risk Patients With Early Stage Non-Small Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

    Location:

    Rochester, MN

    Trial status:

    Open for Enrollment

    Why is this study being done?

    The current standard of care for Stage I Non-Small Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is sublobar surgical resection. Recent trials have suggested that early stage NSCLC might be successfully treated with SBRT amongst those who are medically inoperable. SBRT is the precise delivery of a high dose of radiation to control tumors while limiting damage to surrounding normal tissues. Patients on the SBRT arm will receive 54 Grays (Gy) in 3 fractions. One gray is the absorption of one joule of energy, in the form of ionizing radiation, per kilogram of matter. Recent advances with three-dimensional conformal and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques can now compensate for lung motion and allow delivery of high-dose, single fractions to the primary lung tumor for patients with clinical state I NSCLC. Local control and survival results appear promising. SBRT for early stage lung cancer may offer a potentially equivalent, non-invasive treatment alternative to surgical resection. Additionally, SBRT may be associated with fewer complications and better quality of life. SBRT may be an acceptable or even preferred treatment option in higher-risk patients not able to tolerate a surgical lobectomy. This clinical dilemma is increasingly faced in our lung cancer practice at Mayo Clinic, with no comparative effectiveness data to guide treatment decisions. Patients will be evaluated by both Thoracic Surgery and Radiation Oncology. Randomization can occur through either group but a patient must see both in consultation prior to randomization. For patients meeting enrollment criteria but unwilling to participate in randomization, observational arms for each of SBRT and sublobar resection will enroll up to 24 patients as part of the 96 patient total. The patients will receive the following tests: - Computed Tomography (CT)-Positron Emission Tomography (PET) will be used for mediastinal imaging - Endobronchial/endoscopic ultrasound (EBUS/EUS)-Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) or mediastinoscopy will be used for pathologic assessment of level 2 lymph nodes (N2) greater than 1 cm in the short axis on CT scan and/or SUV greater than 1.5 fold background - Follow-up CT every 3 months for 2 years for SBRT groups, with triggers for further evaluation - Baseline CT scan at 3 months for surgery groups, then yearly afterwards - Follow-up Pulmonary Function Tests at 1 year

    Do Your Genes Put You at a Higher Risk of Developing Mesothelioma

    Location:

    Rochester, MN

    Trial status:

    Open for Enrollment

    Why is this study being done?

    Mesothelioma is a cancer that develops from serosal surfaces usually in response to prior asbestos exposure. A history of asbestos exposure can be elicited in more than 80% of mesothelioma victims. However, asbestos exposure alone is not sufficient to cause the development of mesothelioma. Nearly 27 million individuals in the US, were exposed to asbestos in the work place between 1940 and 1979 but just 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed each year. Therefore, the investigators hypothesis is that genetic variation in addition to asbestos exposure, and host factors contribute to the development of mesothelioma. It is estimated, based on the investigators preliminary studies, that a population in excess of 1,000 subjects with mesothelioma is required to perform a valid GWAS. Therefore a multicenter approach is necessary to collect data and DNA on sufficient numbers with mesothelioma to adequately evaluate genetic risk. It is the aim of this proposal to develop a consortium of mesothelioma investigators to share phenotypic data and DNA samples and to perform genome wide association scanning (GWAS).
