Summary

The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects (good and bad) on subjects and their cancer using standard chemotherapy in combination with hypofractionated proton radiation therapy. Hypofractionation is a technique that delivers higher daily doses of radiation over a shorter period of time.

Conditions

  • Lung Neoplasms

Interventions

RADIATION

Radiation with Concurrent Chemotherapy

RADIATION: Proton Radiotherapy Dose Level 1: 60 Gy (RBE) at 2.5 Gy(RBE) per fraction x 24 fractions Dose Level 2: 60 Gy (RBE) at 3 Gy (RBE) per fraction x 20 fractions Dose Level 3: 60.01 Gy (RBE) at 3.53 Gy (RBE) per fraction x 17 fractions Dose Level 4: 60 Gy (RBE) at 4 Gy (RBE) per fraction x 15 fractions CONCURRENT CHEMOTHERAPY: Paclitaxel at a dose of 45 mg/m2 and Carboplatin at a dose of AUC 2 mg/min/ml (a total of 3-5 weekly doses) OR Cisplatin 50mg/m2 days 1, 8, 29, and 36 and Etoposide 50mg/m2 days 1-5, 29-33. For non squamous histology, Carboplatin AUC 5 on day 1 and Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1 every 21 days OR Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on day 1 and Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1 every 21 days. Adjuvant chemotherapy is optional.
