Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intervention group 1:
LBH589, an oral histone deacetylase inhibitor, will be combined with radiation for treatment of stage III non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 3 increasing dose levels- 20 mg, 30 mg and 45 mg. The drug is administered orally. The radiation will be delivered to a total dose of 40 Gy in 2 Gy per fraction. 3 patients will start treatment with 20 mg LBH589 and radiation and observed for dose limiting toxicities. In case of no or minimal toxicities the next 3 patients will be treated at second dose level i.e. 30 mg. The next and final dose level will be 45 mg. A patient will be treated at only one particular dose level. The treatment will last for the duration of radiation, i.e. 4 weeks.
Intervention group 2:
Patients with stage III NSCLC will be treated with chemoradiation plus LBH589 in three increasing dose levels 20 mg, 30 mg and 45 mg. The total treatment duration will be 6 weeks. Radiation will be given at the dose of 60 Gy- 2 Gy per fraction. The chemotherapy will be intravenous cisplatin (50mg/m2 Days 1, 8 every 3 weeks) plus oral vinorelbine (50mg/m2 Days 1, 8 every 3 weeks) for 2 cycles. The first 3 patients will start treatment at 20 mg LBH589 with chemoradiation and observed for dose limiting toxicities. In case of no or minimal toxicities, the next three patients will be treated at 30 mg dose level. The final dose level will be 45 mg. The dose of chemotherapy and raditaion will remain constant throughout. A patient will be treated at only one dose level of LBH589 whether they experience any toxicity or not.
