IR-guided Ablation (IRGA) Combined With Stereotactic Ablative Radiation (SABR) for Lung Tumors Larger Than 3 cm: Phase I Dose Escalation and Pilot Study With Companion Biomarker Analysis
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation
therapy when given together with ablation therapy in treating patients with non-small cell
lung cancer or lung metastases. Ablation therapy, such as radiofrequency ablation uses a
high-frequency, electric current to kill tumor cells. Ablation therapy, such as microwave
ablation kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and
cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving ablation therapy together with stereotactic body
radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

This is a dose-escalation study of stereotactic body radiation therapy.
Patients undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy once daily (QD) for a total of 5
fractions and then undergo IRGA (either radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation) 1 week
later.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks, every 3 months for
1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Pathological (histologically or cytologically) diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer
(NSCLC); or if lung tumor is considered to be metastases (even from primary NSCLC),
then clinical diagnosis is sufficient
- For NSCLC: Staging workup at initial diagnosis demonstrates T2-T4N0M0, or
T2-T4,N1-3,M1; node-positive patients will be allowed on study only if they have M1
disease; clinical diagnosis of M1 disease is sufficient
- Patient is deemed (a) to be medically inoperable after evaluation by thoracic surgeon
based on, but not limited to the following: baseline forced expiratory volume in one
second (FEV1) < 40% predicted, post-operative FEV1 < 30% predicted, severely reduced
diffusion capacity, baseline hypoxemia/hypercapnia, coronary artery disease, end-organ
damage, or (b): patient has refused surgery after thoracic surgery consultation
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- NSCLC only: pleural effusion, if present, will undergo routine assessment for
malignancy; inability to obtain fluid or non-diagnostic cytology will not preclude
eligibility
- Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 4 weeks prior to registration in women
with childbearing potential
- Able to provide written, informed consent
- Minimum of 4 weeks from last dose of chemotherapy to start of treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
- For NSCLC only: prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer) unless
disease-free for a minimum of 2 years, including previous history of lung cancer
- Prior radiation to the region of current cancer that would result in > 50% overlap of
the old treatment field on the new treatment area based on radiation oncologist
evaluation
- International normalization ratio (INR) of > 1.5
- Platelets of < 50,000 /uL
- Inability to meet maximum point dose constraints
