      Background

      PCI is considered standard of care in limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC) patients. However the impact of the dose and fractionation of thoracic radiotherapy (RT) on the risk of developing brain metastasis (BM) has not been evaluated prospectively.

      CONVERT is an international, phase 3 trial that randomly assigned patients to receive twice-daily (BD 45Gy in 30 fractions) or once-daily (OD 66Gy in 33 fractions) RT starting on day 22 of chemotherapy (CT) cycle 1 (NCT00433563). PCI was offered, if indicated. Data on thoracic and brain RT delivery and timing, rate of BM and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with PCI was analysed. The association of the risk of developing BM/OS and predictor variables, using a competing risk regression model developed by Fine and Gray for BM or the standard Cox proportional hazards model for OS, was investigated.

      Of 547 patients recruited to the study, 449 (82%) received PCI after completion of CTRT. PCI was delivered to 220/273 participants (81%) in the BD group and 229/270 in the OD group (85%; p=0.49). Pre-CTRT brain imaging consisted of CT-scan in 356/449 patients (79%) and MRI in 83/449 (18%) patients. Total median PCI dose was 25 Gy in both BD and OD groups (p=0.74). PCI was delivered later after CT in the OD group compared to the BD group (median days post CT 37 vs. 35 days, respectively; p=0.04). In patients who received PCI, 75 (17%) developed BM (35 [8%] in OD and 40 [9%] in BD) and 173 (39%) other extracranial progression. In the univariate analysis, GTV was associated with an increased risk of BM (HR: 1.37 [95%CI 1.09-1.73]; p=0.007) or other radiological progression events (HR: 1.43 [95%CI 1.11-1.85]; p=0.006), whereas in a multivariate analysis both GTV and PS were associated with either progression type. The median OS of patients treated with PCI was 29 months (95%CI 25.8-35.7). Median OS was 28 months in BD (95%CI 22-35) and 31 months in OD (95%CI 27-52; p=0.1). In the univariate analysis of OS, PCI timing from end of CT, weight loss >10%, and thoracic GTV were prognostic factors associated with OS. In the multivariate analysis, only thoracic GTV was associated with OS. Delay between end of CT and PCI was not associated with OS (p=0.2).

      Patients receiving OD or BD thoracic RT have the same risk of developing BM. Larger tumours are associated with a higher risk of BM.
