PRophylactic Cerebral Irradiation or Active MAgnetic Resonance Imaging Surveillance in Small-cell Lung Cancer Patients (PRIMALung Study)


Sponsor

European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC

Enrollment

600 participants

Start Date

Oct 27, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

In this phase III study, the primary objective is to test with a one-sided significance of 5% whether for the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients, brain MRI surveillance alone is non-inferior in terms of overall survival compared to prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) combined with brain MRI surveillance in the entire study population.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is comparing two approaches for people with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) who have responded to initial treatment: preventive brain radiation (a standard treatment to stop cancer from spreading to the brain) versus regular MRI brain scans to closely monitor for any spread without treating prophylactically. Researchers want to know which approach preserves quality of life and survival better. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have a confirmed diagnosis of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), either limited or extensive stage - Your cancer has responded to initial treatment - You are fit enough to receive radiation if assigned to that group **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has already spread to the brain - You cannot undergo MRI scans - You are in very poor health - You do not meet other protocol-specific criteria Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

RADIATIONProphylactic cranial irradiation

Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) is a technique used to combat the occurrence of metastasis to the brain in highly aggressive cancers that commonly metastasize to brain, most notably small-cell lung cancer.
