About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
- Patients with resectable primary NSCLC who are undergoing surgery to resect T3 to T4 lesions OR any patients with clinical NI or N2 disease regardless of T-stage
- Subjects must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale of 0-2
- Subjects of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for 6 months after surgery; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
- The subject or legal representative must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent prior to receiving any study related procedure
- Must consent to participate in study I 03103: Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) Data Bank and Biorepository (DBBR)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier
- Patients with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Pregnant or nursing female subjects
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
- Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion deems the subject an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Treatment (surgery and intraoperative PDT)
Arm Description
Patients receive temoporfin IV over no less than 6 minutes and then undergo standard surgical resection with intraoperative PDT.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Maximum tolerated dose of PDT with temoporfin, defined as the dose level in which more than 1 of 6 patients experience a dose limiting toxicity using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4
Secondary Outcome Measures
Locoregional recurrence-free rate
Estimated using simple relative frequencies. The corresponding 95% confidence interval for the estimated probability will be computed using the method proposed by Clopper and Pearson. Maximum likelihood estimation will be utilized in the model fitting procedures.
Overall survival
Distribution will be obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. Corresponding confidence intervals using the methodology of Brookmeyer and Crowley will be computed.
Progression free survival
Distribution will be obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. Corresponding confidence intervals using the methodology of Brookmeyer and Crowley will be computed.
Toxicity rate, using NCI CTCAE version 4
Estimated using simple relative frequencies. The corresponding 95% confidence interval for the estimated probability will be computed using the method proposed by Clopper and Pearson. Maximum likelihood estimation will be utilized in the model fitting procedures.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of photodynamic therapy during surgery in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery. Photodynamic therapy uses a drug, such as temoporfin, that becomes active when it is exposed to a certain kind of light. When the drug is active, cancer cells are killed. This may be a better way to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To demonstrate that intraoperative adjuvant regional photodynamic therapy with low-dose temoporfin is safe.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Initial assessment of efficacy (i.e., 2-year disease free survival). II. To investigate the relationship between signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) levels, measured light dose and the clinical outcome.
III. Correlate the serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites (25-hydroxyvitarnin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) with the presence of lymph node (LN) metastasis at the time of surgical resection.
IV. To measure temoporfin uptake in malignant and normal tissue.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of photodynamic therapy with temoporfin.
Patients receive temoporfin intravenously (IV) over no less than 6 minutes and then undergo standard surgical resection with intraoperative photodynamic therapy (PDT).
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years.
