Abstract

We aimed to evaluate whether progression-directed radiation therapy (PDRT) can prolong the initiation of a subsequent systemic therapy regimen in a cohort of patients with oligoprogressive NSCLC. A retrospective analysis was conducted on NSCLC patients who underwent PDRT for extracranial oligoprogressive NSCLC, defined as limited (up to five) progressing lesions following initial complete, partial, or stable response to systemic therapy according to REC1ST 1.1 and/or PERCIST 1.0 criteria. Cox proportional hazard regressions were performed to identify factors influencing time to next treatment (TTNT), which was considered the primary endpoint. Forty patients were analyzed. First, second, and ≥3 lines of systemic therapy were administered in 22 (58.2%), 14 (27.2%), and 4 (14.6%) cases, respectively. The median total dose was 36 Gy (range: 12-60) in five fractions (1-10), with a median biological effective dose for tumor control (BED10) of 52 Gy (26.4-151.2). After a median follow-up of 11 months (2-50), PDRT delayed further systemic therapy in 32 (80.0%) treatments. Median TTNT was not reached at 8 months (1-47) with a one-year Kaplan-Meier estimate of 81.4% (95% CI: 75.0% to 87.8%). No >grade 3 adverse event was observed. On multivariate analysis, patients with ≥3 lines of systemic therapy and/or with larger CTV volumes did not benefit from PDRT. Despite the use of sub-ablative doses, our findings show that PDRT represents an effective, safe, and viable option for oligoprogressive NSCLC. Patients irradiated early during their systemic treatment course, with a low volume of disease and nonmetastatic oligoprogression, could derive substantial benefits from PDRT.
