Brief summary

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy without disease progression followed by consolidation durvalumab is standard of care for unresectable, stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (the 'PACIFIC regimen'). However, many patients with poor performance status, older age or comorbidities may be ineligible for chemotherapy due to expected high toxicity. The present study aim to investigate the efficacy and toxicities of sequential chemo-immunotherapy plus thoracic radiotherapy for elderly and/or frail stage III NSCLC patients unfit for concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and to identify the optimal thoracic dose for this patient population.

Interventions

RADIATIONstandar thoracic RT dose

All the enrolled patients will be patients with NSCLC who did not have PD (determined as per the RECIST v1.1) after 4-6 cycle of platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with an anti-PD-1/L1. Then, those enrolled patients would be treated with standard dose thoracic radiotherapy of 60 Gy/30Fx concurrently with PD-1/PD-L1 maintenance therapy, and the total maintenance therapy time should at least more than 6 months.

RADIATIONdecreased thoracic RT dose

All the enrolled patients will be patients with NSCLC who did not have PD (determined as per the RECIST v1.1) after 4-6 cycle of platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with an anti-PD-1/L1. Then, those enrolled patients would be treated with decreased thoracic radiotherapy of 50Gy/25Fx concurrently with PD-1/PD-L1 maintenance therapy, and the total maintenance therapy time should at least more than 6 months.
