JoLT-Ca/STABLEMATES Trial

The JoLT-Ca/STABLEMATES Trial is a randomized phase III study of sublobar resection (SR) versus stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) in high-risk patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that the three-year overall survival in high-risk operable patients with Stage I NSCLC is greater in patients who undergo SAbR as compared to standard sublobar resection (SR).

Defined High Risk Stage I NSCLC > Screen Eligible Patients / Pre-Randomize (N=258) > Consent to Accept Randomization Assignment >
Accept (N=218) > Arm 1: Sublobar Resection (N=109) > Follow for OS, Toxicity, and Patterns of Failure or Accept > Arm 2: SAbR (N=109) > Follow-up: OS, Toxicity, and Patterns of Failure
Reject (N=40) > Consent to Be Observed After Standard of Care Therapy (N=40) > Accept (N=36) > Follow-up: OS, Toxicity, and Patterns of Failure or Reject (N=4) > Failure to Consent – Off Study. *Anticipated (actual assignment rate will be monitored)
