Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunotherapy combined with spatial fractionation radiotherapy and low dose radiotherapy on the prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer under specific dose regimens (spatial fractionation radiotherapy: high dose region: 800-1200cGy × 3f, low dose region: 100-300cGy × 5f; low dose radiotherapy area: 100-300cGy × 5f). Through the phase II clinical trial, to determine the efficacy and safety of the combined treatment model in advanced lung cancer and its effect on the immune microenvironment of patients, so as to provide scientific basis for the optimization of treatment regimen for advanced lung cancer.

Detailed Description

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

The eligible subjects were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group according to the proportion of 1:1. The experimental group was treated with space fractionation radiotherapy for a single lesion, with a prescription dose of 800-1200cGy × 3f in the high-dose area and 100-300cGy × 5f in the low-dose area. All other irradiable metastatic foci were given low-dose radiotherapy (brain and bone metastases were given palliative radiotherapy according to clinical routine, but not within the range of low-dose radiotherapy). The prescription dose was 100-300cGy × 5f. Chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy was given during or within 1 week after radiotherapy. The control group only received conventional radiotherapy for chest or other lesions, followed by immunotherapy and chemotherapy according to the tumor stage, tolerance and genetic characteristics of the patients. Peripheral blood routine, immune cell (lymphocyte) subsets and related cytokines were detected before radiotherapy, on the day after radiotherapy and within 7 days after 1 cycle of immunotherapy. Before radiotherapy and after 1 cycle of immunotherapy, the metastatic focus was biopsied, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 12-24 hours, dehydrated by gradient alcohol in the dehydrator, and finally embedded in paraffin to make wax blocks for preservation. The toxic and side effects of the treatment were recorded in detail, and the symptomatic treatment and detailed records can be made according to the severity. Patients with severe adverse reactions (SAE) will stop treatment and report to the research center for inclusion in the statistics. The toxicity and side effects were evaluated by CTCAE5.0 standard, and the long-term side effects were evaluated by RTOG long-term toxicity evaluation criteria.

experimental group

1. Patients received dose-specific irradiation using a medical linear accelerator to create each sphere of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 cm in diameter within the gross tumour volume (GTV) of the largest tumour, with spheres spaced 2.0 to 5.0 cm apart from each other as the high-dose area; the rest of the GTV was used as the low-dose area.

For a single lesion, spatially divided radiotherapy was given, with the prescribed dose for the high-dose area: 800-1200cGy×3f, and the prescribed dose for the low-dose area: 100-300cGy×5f; all the remaining irradiable metastatic foci were given low-dose radiotherapy (palliative radiotherapy was given to the brain and bone metastases in accordance with the clinical routine, and was excluded from the scope of low-dose radiotherapy), with the prescribed dos
2. During or within 1 week after radiotherapy, chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy was carried out according to the physical, pathological and genetic detection of the patients.
