Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Healthy lung sparing treatment plan

Experimental: Intervention - Lung sparing treatment plan

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
Patients receiving healthy lung sparing treatment (interventional arm) have better quality of life than patients receiving standard treatment (control arm).
Timepoint [1] 0 0
3 months
Secondary outcome [1] 0 0
Interventional arm patients will have reduced treatment lung side-effects.
Timepoint [1] 0 0
2 years
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
Interventional arm patients will have better lung function, as determined by the difference between pre and post treatment Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) scores, as healthy lung is spared.
Timepoint [2] 0 0
2 years
Secondary outcome [3] 0 0
In the interventional arm, a higher proportion of patients will receive immunotherapy
Timepoint [3] 0 0
2 years
Secondary outcome [4] 0 0
In the interventional arm, a higher proportion of patients will complete immunotherapy
Timepoint [4] 0 0
2 years
Secondary outcome [5] 0 0
Cost effectiveness will be demonstrated as measured via a health economics assessment
Timepoint [5] 0 0

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria

1. Aged 18 years or older.
2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2.
3. Histologically proven non-small cell lung cancer.
4. Stage 3 as determined using the IASLC (International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) 8th edition lung cancer staging guidelines.
5. To be treated with curative intent external beam radiotherapy (60 Gy in 30 treatments or 55 Gy in 20 treatments) +/- concurrent chemotherapy and adjuvant PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
6. Whole body Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan within 8 weeks of registration.
7. Pulmonary function tests within 8 weeks of registration.
8. Willingness to give written informed consent.
9. Willingness to comply with the study procedures and visit requirements.
10. Available for follow up for a minimum of 12 months and up to 3 years.

Post-inclusion criteria includes the results of a Quality of Life (QoL) assessment and treatment plan assessment, neither of which are known prior to consent. The post-inclusion criteria for the VITaL trial are:

1. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung (FACT-L) Trial Outcome Index (TOI) score of =5, the clinically meaningful difference
2. The standard treatment plan shows that at least 16% of volume of the lungs (minus the Gross Tumour Volume (GTV)) will receive more than 20 Gy. This criterion is based on the difference in pneumonitis risk between patients receiving below (~8%) and above (~34%) this threshold.

The QoL assessment is unlikely to eliminate any patients but is included for patients where no clinically meaningful difference will be possible. The treatment plan assessment may exclude 20% of otherwise eligible patients.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Serious medical comorbidities that may contraindicate curative radiotherapy.
2. Inability to attend full course of radiotherapy or follow-up visits.
3. A current or former diagnosis of interstitial lung disease.
4. Prior history of lung cancer within 5 years.
5. Prior thoracic radiotherapy at any time.
6. Prior surgery for this cancer within a year.
7. Prior chemotherapy for this cancer.
8. Pregnant or lactating women.
