ACOSOG Z4099 / RTOG 1021 016 PIs: Hiran C. Fernando, MD (ACOSOG); Robert Timmerman, MD (RTOG) N=420 Traditional phase III randomised trial Patients randomised to either surgery or SABR after consent Primary endpoint = 3-year overall survival
Pre-randomisation 017 The NSABP B-06: mastectomy to lumpectomy/xrt had very poor accrual when originally opened for enrollment NSABP re-designed the trial to utilise a randomisation that occurred prior to asking the patient to participate The re-design led to successful accrual that allowed the trial to answer the question

Is There a Role for Consolidative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Following First-line Systemic Therapy for Metastatic Lung Cancer? A Patterns-of-Failure Analysis 020 Careful assessment of pattern of failure (POF) Local (L, existing sites) or distant (D, new sites) Brain mets scored separately 64 patients with stage IIIB-IV NSCLC Median time to progression = 3.9 months 91% L only failure in 64%, L+D in 27%, D only in 9% 1st-line therapy fails to control gross disease in 91%
Treatment in Stage IV NSCLC 021 How do you treat stage IV NSCLC patients after 1st-line systemic therapy? Current paradigm: Maintenance chemotherapy Continue targeted therapy until development of T790M or L1196M Observation with initiation of 2nd-line therapy at time of progression Some 30%-50% of patients who progress thru 1st-line chemo/targeted therapy do not receive further therapy PS being one reason (related to toxicity) Proposed paradigm: Locally ablative treatment with hypofractionated radiotherapy + maintenance chemotherapy after 4-6 cycles/month of chemo/targeted therapy

Conclusions 1. Sub-optimal, protracted fractionation schedules were appropriate in previous decades due to technology limitations 2. SBRT has already been established as standard care for early stage inoperable NSCLC 3. SBRT will likely become mainstream for eradicating/ debulking gross tumours OF ANY CANCER STAGE 4. RT clearly influences multiple points of the Cancer-Immunity Cycle 5. RT with anti-tumour immunotherapeutics can potentially yield effective and durable suppression of tumours, resulting in improved outcomes for lung cancer patients
