Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This Phase II randomized controlled study is to determine the efficacy of the preventively use of methylprednisolone after split-course chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer with bulky tumor.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is to determine the efficacy of the preventively use of methylprednisolone after split-course chemoradiotherapy(CCRT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer with bulky tumor.

All patients received four cycles of weekly docetaxel (25mg/㎡) and nedaplatin (25mg/㎡)(DP), each of 1 day's duration, combined with split-course thoracic radiotherapy, with one-month break. In the experimental arm, patients were treated with methylprednisolone after the first course of radiation, once a day, 32 milligram (mg) for 7 days, 24 mg for the next 7 days,then 16mg for 7 days, and 8 mg for the last 7 days. Toxicities will be graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 4.0.
