Problems with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy in NSCLC
• TOXICITY – radical radiotherapy and full dose chemotherapy at the same time
• oesophagitis, pneumonitis, sepsis
• initial US studies reported 10% treatment related mortality
• PATIENT SELECTION CRITICAL
![Page 5: SOCCAR a Phase II Trial of Sequential Versus Concurrent Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Using an Accelerated Hypofractionated Radiation Schedule in Stage](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cec5503460f949b92a8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Accelerated Repopulation is a major cause of local treatment failure
radical RT in 28 days may ↓ effects

starting position (2006)
• historically poor UK lung cancer survival
• minimalist and over-conservative approach to treatment
• long diagnosis to treatment times
• limited experience with concurrent chemoradiation
• 3/12 centres pre trial use of con regimen
![Page 24: SOCCAR a Phase II Trial of Sequential Versus Concurrent Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Using an Accelerated Hypofractionated Radiation Schedule in Stage](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cec5503460f949b92a8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
problems at the start……
• introducing a new technology
• European Clinical Trials Directive
• “adverse publicity”

conclusions
Cancer Research UK & UCL Cancer Trials Centre
• 55Gy/20f/26-28d with concurrent cisplatinum and vinorelbine is a highly effective treatment for stage III NSCLC, PS 0-1
• 2 year survival in concurrent group > 50%
• In comparison of 16 RCTs, 1733 patients treated on concurrent CTRT, this treatment ranks top on survival with comparable tolerability

what next………?
• needs to be relevant internationally
• ? relevance of individualised dose escalation for some patients (but tumour size critical)

• eligible patients should have concurrent chemoradiotherapy
• next UK study should have SOCCAR regimen standard arm vs conventional fractionation
• national agreement to compare 55Gy/20f with 64Gy/32f
with concurrent cisplatinum/vinorelbine

CARSON - DESIGN• Randomised phase III non-inferiority trial
•Aims to rule out the possibility that the SOCCAR regimen increases the death rate by more than 17.5% relative to 66Gy in 33 fractions
•this corresponds approximately to retaining half the benefit of going from sequential to concurrent treatment
• 2.5% 1-sided level of statistical significance
• 580 patients (80% power)
•Final selection between arms based on toxicity/HE
![Page 44: SOCCAR a Phase II Trial of Sequential Versus Concurrent Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Using an Accelerated Hypofractionated Radiation Schedule in Stage](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cec5503460f949b92a8/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
CARSON - DESIGN
•Aims to rule out the possibility that the SOCCAR regimen increases the death rate by more than 17.5% relative to 66Gy in 33 fractions
• Rule out reducing median OS by >3 months (assuming 20 months median on standard)
• The design assumes that the SOCCAR regimen will actually reduce the death rate by at least 10%
• Assumes median OS on SOCCAR will be 22.2 months compared to 20 months on standard (actual median in SOCCAR 27 months)
![Page 45: SOCCAR a Phase II Trial of Sequential Versus Concurrent Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy Using an Accelerated Hypofractionated Radiation Schedule in Stage](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649cec5503460f949b92a8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
CARSON - DESIGN• Other design options
•Superiority in terms of OS – but the SOCCAR regimen perhaps has advantages even if OS is the same
• Standard non-inferiority design in terms of OS – but this is very large and probably undeliverable. If SOCCAR has a small survival advantage this is overpowered.
•Use HE as a primary end-point – difficult to design and also demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of OS was crucial

conclusions
• 55Gy/20f/26-28d with concurrent cisplatinum and vinorelbine is a feasible and effective treatment for stage III NSCLC, PS 0-1
• 2 year survival in concurrent group > 50%
• SOCCAR confirms the value of an accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy schedule as a therapeutic approach in NSCLC
• major opportunity for follow on trial now!
