Conditions studied: Locally Advanced Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Metastatic Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, Stage II Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage III Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIIA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIIB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IIIC Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IV Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVA Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Stage IVB Lung Cancer AJCC v8, Unresectable Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma

In brief

This phase II trial studies the effect of adaptive radiation planning in reducing side effects associated with radiation treatment and immunotherapy in patients with stage II-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Prior to radiation, patients undergo simulation, where they are positioned on the treatment table in a manner that can be reproduced each time they receive treatment in order to reach the tumor exactly at the same spot each time. However, a patient's tumor may shrink as they receive radiation, exposing healthy tissue to radiation as well. Adaptive radiation planning involves re-designing a treatment plan at set intervals. The purpose of this study is to see whether establishing set time points through adaptive radiation planning, regardless of whether the doctor notices a significant decrease in tumor size, will reduce some of the side effects associated with radiation treatment and immunotherapy.

You may not qualify if…

History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the site investigator
Pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial
Active central nervous system (CNS) metastases (if symptomatic or without prior brain imaging, subjects must undergo a head computed tomography [CT] scan or brain magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] within 28 days prior to registration for protocol therapy to exclude brain metastases)
Treatment with any investigational agent within 28 days prior to registration for protocol therapy
Prior chemotherapy, adjuvant therapy, or radiotherapy for lung cancer other than standard concurrent chemoradiation or up to 2 cycles of consolidation therapy
Active second cancers
History of psychiatric illness or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
