    • Abstract

    Background:
    Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is the current standard treatment for inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and a clearly superior regimen has not yet been identified. This study was conducted to evaluate cisplatin with S-1 (SP) or docetaxel (DP) with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC.
    
    Methods:
    In this open-label, non-comparative phase II trial, patients with inoperable stage IIIA/B NSCLC were randomized (1:1) to SP (S-1 40 mg/m[2] twice a day on days 1-14 and 29-42, and cisplatin 60 mg/m[2] on days 1 and 29) or DP (docetaxel 50 mg/m[2] and cisplatin 60 mg/m[2 ]on days 1 and 29), stratified by institution, gender, histology, and stage. In both arms, concurrent radiotherapy was started on day 1 (total 60 Gy in 30 fractions). After CCRT, patients in each group received two additional cycles of consolidation chemotherapy with the same regimen as that for the CCRT part. The primary endpoint was the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate, and secondary endpoints were OS, progression-free survival (PFS), toxicity profile, dose intensity and objective response rate (ORR).
    
    Results:
    Between May 2011 and August 2014, 110 patients from 19 institutions were enrolled. Finally, 106 patients (56 in each arm) were evaluable for efficacy and safety. The patient characteristics were: male/female, 83/23; median age, 65 (range 42-74) yr; performance status 0/1, 59/47; IIIA/IIIB, 59/47. After a median follow-up of 23.1 months, ORR and median PFS were 71.7% (95%CI: 57.7-83.2) and 11.5 months (95%: 9.00-14.1) in the SP arm, and 67.9% (95%CI: 53.7-80.1) and 17.2 months (95%: 9.62-24.0) in the DP arm, respectively. Grade 3-4 leukopenia (34.0%/62.3%) and neutropenia (28.3%/56.6%) were significantly higher in the DP arm than in the SP arm. Incidences of non-hematological toxicity including febrile neutropenia, anorexia, nausea, diarrhea, radiation pneumonitis and esophagitis tended to be high in the DP arm. No treatment-related death occurred.
    
    Conclusion:
    At this preliminary stage, it appears that although the DP arm may have more toxic effects than the SP arm, it has a favorable PFS. The OS data will be available soon.
