      Background

      To determine if prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) improves survival in locally advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC), we conducted a prospective randomized phase III trial. Previously we reported that compared to observation, PCI significantly increased disease-free survival and reduced brain metastases. With extended follow-up, we sought to determine whether PCI conferred an overall survival benefit.

      Patients with stage III NSCLC without disease progression after treatment with surgery and/or radiation therapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy were eligible. Participants were stratified by stage (IIIA v IIIB), histology (nonsquamous v squamous), and therapy (surgery v none) and were randomly assigned to PCI or observation. PCI was delivered to 30 Gy in 15 fractions. The primary end point of the study was overall survival (OS). Secondary end points were disease-free survival (DFS), neurocognitive function (NCF), and quality of life. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank analyses were used for OS and DFS. The incidence of brain metastasis (BM) was evaluated with the logistic regression model.

      Among 356 patients entered to this study, 340 are eligible for analysis. The median follow-up time was 2.1 years for all patients, and 9.2 years for living patients. The survival estimates and hazard ratio indicate that there appears to be no improvement in survival with the use of PCI (p=0.12, HR=1.23, 95% CI: 0.95-1.59). Of note, with the current data there is only 45% power to detect the hypothesized difference HR=1.25 at 1-sided significance level of 0.025. The DFS estimates are better in the PCI arm (p=0.03, HR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.03-1.69). Patients in the observation arm were 2.33 times more likely to develop BM than those in the PCI arm (p= 0.004). On multivariate analysis PCI was significantly associated with decreased BM and improved DFS, but not OS. However, among the 225 non-surgical patients, use of PCI was associated with higher OS (p=0.026, HR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.04-1.94) and DFS (p=0.014), and lower BM (p=0.003). NCF was previously published (Sun, JCO 2011 and Gondi, IJROBP 2013), however, with longer follow-up, there is insufficient data for further analysis.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      In this 10-year updated analysis, use of PCI continued to significantly improve DFS and reduce brain metastases. However, the early accrual closure failed to provide adequate power to detect the hypothesized difference in OS and the survival rates were not significantly different between PCI and observation. Subgroup analyses based on stratification factors suggest that PCI may improve survival among non-surgical patients.
