PG - 68-77 LID - S1879-8500(21)00234-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.prro.2021.09.005 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Our purpose was to characterize the radiation doses to organs-at-risk (OAR) in the phase I trial (NCT02608385) that established safety/efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using NRG-BR001 dose constraints combined with programmed cell death protein 1 blockade for metastatic disease. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Between January 2016 and May 2018, 73 patients with advanced solid tumors were treated with SBRT followed by pembrolizumab. Tumor volumes (gross tumor volume/internal tumor volume) were delineated for each metastasis, with planning target volume contraction to limit OAR dose per protocol (n = 54) or when gross tumor volume/internal tumor volume > 65 cm(3) (n = 19). For 20 OAR, doses were compared with NRG-BR001 constraints. Protocol constraints were considered challenged when the minimum of the highest dose received by >/=6 patients without dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (D(max)(6th)) was >/=70% of the protocol constraint. RESULTS: A total of 151 metastases were irradiated including 32 peripheral lung, 23 central lung, 13 mediastinal/cervical, 24 liver, 28 abdominal-pelvic, 16 osseous, and 15 spinal metastases. A median of 2 metastases (range, 2-4) with mean volumes of 33.5 cm(3) (range, 0.4-391 cm(3)) were treated using average planning target volumes of 50.7 cm(3) (range, 3.2-161 cm(3)). At least 1 dose constraint from NRG-BR001 was exceeded in 38 of 73 (52%) patients. OAR constraints were challenged in 10 serial organs (gastrointestinal, cardio-pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems) and 1 parallel OAR (lung). Grade 3 DLTs occurred in 6 patients, including pneumonitis (n = 3), colitis (n = 2), and hepatic failure (n = 1). In 4 patients, the toxicity could be directly attributed to the planned dose to OAR (ie, pneumonitis due to high lung dose or colitis due to high bowel dose). CONCLUSIONS: Multisite SBRT in combination with programmed cell death protein 1 blockade was safely tolerated when treating critical central, abdominal-pelvic, and peripheral OAR nearing NRG-BR001 constraints with clinically acceptable toxicity in the corresponding organ systems. The observed relationship between dose and DLTs in 4 of 6 patients indicates that NRG-BR001 dose constraints should be respected in subsequent trials to maintain clinical safety.
