Brief summary

The aim of this randomized study is to investigate local tumor control,survival outcomes and complications on patients of liver metastasis in small cell lung cancer.

Detailed description

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a kind of disease with high degree of malignancy and poor prognosis.Based on the effectiveness of systemic chemotherapy, the treatment of primary lesions and whole brain radiotherapy can bring survival benefits to patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.Patients with liver metastasis have a worse prognosis than those with other organ metastases.Local radiotherapy for patients with liver metastasis may have a better prognosis.However, clinical data of the safety and efficacy of whole liver radiotherapy for liver metastasis are still lacking.The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of liver metastatic radiotherapy in small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Interventions

RADIATIONRadiotherpy will be performed to thoracic and liver metastasis after chemotherapy.

Intensity modulated radiotherapy will be performed to liver metastasis and thoracic SCLC patients who achieved CR or PR after chemotherapy .

Inclusion criteria

1. Informed consent (radiation, medication) before treatment; 2. Age 18 to 70 years old,regardless of gender; 3. Initial SCLC confirmed by histopathological or cytological examination; 4. Metastatic lesions in the distant area: included liver metastasis; 5. Physical status score ECOG: 0 to 2; 6. The expected survival time is more than 3 months; 7. Bone marrow function:hemoglobin(HGB)\>90g/L,platelet(PLT)\>100×109/L,neutrophil cell(WBC)\>1.5×109/L(\*normal value); 8. Liver function:alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspertate aminotransferase(AST)\<1.5 times of the upper limit of normal(ULN);Total bilirubin \<1.5ULN; 9. Renal function:Serum creatinine was lower than 1.5ULN,and the endogenous creatinine clearance rate(Ccr) is higher than 55mL/min; 10.

Active period of disease caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses; and these severe infection requiring intravenous antibiotics,antifungal or antiviral therapy; 4. Patients with serious cardiovascular disease ,including uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina,history of myocardial infarction within the past 12 months,and severe arrhythmias. 5. Patients with poorly controlled diabetes who are judged to be unfit for chemotherapy by doctors. 6. History of hepatitis and cirrhosisi ; 7. pregnant, lactating patients; 8.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Intrahepatic progression -free survial(Intrahepatic-PFS)UP to 5yearsIntrahepatic progression -free survial is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression of hepatic metastasis.
Overall survival (OS)UP to 5yearsOverall survival is defined as the time interval from date of diagnosis to date of death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free survival(PFS)UP to 5yearsPFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death,whichever occurs first.
Adverse events(toxicities)UP to 5yearsThe descriptions and grading scales found in the revised Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE 4.0) will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
