We report the first randomized trial to directly compare outcomes after passively scattered proton therapy (PSPT) versus intensity-modulated (photon) radiotherapy (IMRT), both with concurrent chemotherapy, for inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (NCT00915005). We hypothesized that PSPT exposes less lung tissue to radiation than IMRT, thereby reducing toxicity without compromising tumor control. The primary endpoints were grade ≥3 radiation pneumonitis (RP) and local failure (LF). Eligible patients had stage IIB-IIIB NSCLC (or stage IV with a single brain metastasis or recurrent lung or mediastinal disease after surgery) who were candidates for concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Pairs of treatment plans (for IMRT and PSPT) were created for each patient. Patients were eligible for randomization only if both plans satisfied the same prespecified dose–volume constraints for organs at risk at the same tumor dose. Compared with IMRT (n=92), PSPT (n=57) exposed less lung to doses of 5–10 Gy(RBE) (absorbed dose [in Gy] × the relative biological effectiveness factor [RBE] for protons); more lung to ≥20 Gy(RBE); and less heart at all dose levels (5–80 Gy(RBE)). The grade ≥ 3 RP rate for all patients was 8.1% (6.5% IMRT, 10.5% PSPT); corresponding LF rates were 10.7%, 10.9%, and 10.5%. The posterior probability of IMRT being better than PSPT was 0.54. Exploratory analysis showed that RP+LF rates at 12 months for patients enrolled before versus after the trial midpoint were 21.1% versus 18.2% for the IMRT group (P=0.047) and 31.0% versus 13.1% for the PSPT group (P=0.027). PSPT did not improve dose–volume indices for lung but did for heart. No benefit was noted in RP or LF after PSPT. Improvements in both endpoints were observed over the course of the trial.
