      Background

      We adopted ConCRT with cisplatin and vinorelbine as our standard of care for patients with LA NSCLC since 2005. This is an analysis of a register of all patients consecutively assigned ConCRT since 2005 in an intent to treat analysis.

      From Feb 2005 to Dec 2015 we assigned ConCRT for 77 consecutive patients with LA NSCLC, who were deemed unresectable; this included T4/N3/ “bulky” N2 disease or locally recurrent disease after initial surgery. Patients had ECOG performance status 0-2 and were treated with Cisplatin 75mg/m2 d1 and Vinorelbine 30mg/m2 d1-8, 3-weekly during the induction chemotherapy phase (i.e. full doses for the first 1-2 cycles) whilst with the addition of radical RT, Vinorelbine was reduced to 12.5mg/m2 d1-8. After ensuring acceptable toxicity with the first 11 patients treated, subsequent patients received Vinorelbine at 15mg/m2 d1-8 during ConCRT and the number of treatment cycles was escalated to a maximum of 6. Patients received definitive CRT (59.4-64.8 Gy) unless surgery was planned, in which case restaging evaluation for potentially resectable patients was performed at 45-50.4 Gy. PET staging was only available since 2011.

      77 patients: 69 men and 8 women. Median age was 63 (43-81); PS 0-1 n=69, PS 2 n=8. Radiological stage IIIB n=40 (52%), IIIA n=30 (39%), IIB n=7 (9%). Histology, squamous n=42, adenocarcinoma n=21, other NSCLC n=14. Treatment delivered: median 4 cycles (range 1-6). 71 patients (92%) completed ConCRT. Overall response rate 70% (49 partial and 5 complete responses), stable disease n=7, progressive disease n=8; of the remaining 8 non-evaluable patients, 6 patients did not complete ConCRT, either due to toxicity/death or disease progression. 11 patients who received ConCRT underwent surgery (6 lobectomies, 5 pneumonectomies). 6 of these 11 patients had a complete pathologic response (pCR). Median progression-free survival (PFS) 14.4 months (C.I. 9.0-19.8) and median overall survival (OS) 23.8 months (C.I. 17.2-30.4). Five year OS rate was 28.2%. There were 2 toxic deaths from neutropaenic sepsis during concurrent CRT and one after surgery. The incidence of grade 3-4 oesophagitis or pneumonitis was < 10% and manageable.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      This regimen has produced encouraging results with a 23.8 month median OS in a patient cohort with predominantly IIIB disease and with a significant minority of poor PS=2 patients, with 92% being able to complete the treatment. Finally 8% of patients had pathological pCR, with 28% of patients treated achieving long-term survival.
