PET-Adjusted IMRT for NSCLC Trial (PAINT)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Carboplatin, Computed Tomography, and 4 other interventions for Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Brain and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This phase II trial studies how well intensity modulated radiation therapy adjusted by positron emission tomography (PET) scanning together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with stage II-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. In intensity-modulated radiotherapy, multiple beam angles and dozens of beam segments are used to deliver highly conformal radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving PET-adjusted IMRT together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
