Lead Sponsor:

University of California, San Francisco

Conditions:

Lung Cancer

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic radiosurgery may...

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Primary * To determine the acute as well as long-term toxicity (especially grade III neurotoxicity) of concurrent erlotinib hydrochloride and single-fraction radiosurgery in patients wit...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) meeting the following criteria:
  • Fewer than 5 intraparenchymal brain metastases by gadolinium-enhanced MRI meeting the following criteria:
  • Maximum diameter ≤ 4.0 cm
  • If multiple lesions are present and one lesion is \> 3.0 cm, the remaining lesions must be ≤ 3.0 cm in maximum diameter
  • No metastases within 3 mm of the optic nerve or optic chiasm such that some portion of the optic nerve or chiasm would receive \> 9 Gy from radiosurgery
  • No metastases in the brainstem, midbrain, pons, or medulla
  • No prior complete resection of a single brain metastasis or of all known brain metastases
  • Subtotal resection allowed provided residual disease is ≤ 4.0 cm in maximum diameter
  • No clinical or radiographic evidence of unstable systemic progression (other than the study lesion\[s\]) within the past month
  • Patients with brain metastases at initial presentation do not require 1 month of scans documenting stable disease
  • Isolated brain metastases with stable systemic disease allowed
  • No leptomeningeal metastases by MRI and/or positive cerebrospinal fluid cytology
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Karnofsky performance status 60-100%
  • Life expectancy ≥ 3 months
  • ANC \> 1,000/mm³
  • Platelet count \> 100,000/mm³
  • Hemoglobin \> 10 g/dL
  • PT and PTT normal
  • AST \< 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Alkaline phosphatase \< 2 times ULN
  • Total bilirubin \< 2 times ULN
  • Lactic dehydrogenase \< 2 times ULN
  • Serum creatinine \< 1.5 times ULN
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for ≥ 2 weeks after completion of study therapy
  • Neurologic function status 0-2
  • No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to erlotinib hydrochloride
  • No contraindication to MRI (e.g., cardiac pacemaker)
  • No absolute contraindication to lumbar puncture
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • Prior systemic therapy allowed
  • No prior cranial radiotherapy
  • Prior radiotherapy to noncranial sites allowed
  • More than 1 week since prior intrathecal chemotherapy or prior treatment of leptomeningeal carcinoma
  • No concurrent systemic therapy
  • Prior or current erlotinib hydrochloride for treatment of systemic disease allowed provided systemic disease has not progressed while on erlotinib hydrochloride
  • No concurrent enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant
  • If patients are on an enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant (e.g., phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital), the agent must be converted to a nonenzyme-inducing anticonvulsant before or at the start of erlotinib hydrochloride treatment
  • No concurrent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers (e.g., Hypericum perforatum \[St. John wort\] or ketoconazole)
  • No other concurrent investigational therapy
