Purpose
The study is a prospective, randomly controlled phase II trial, designed to test the efficacy, safety and neurocognitive outcomes of a medical device, the NovoTTF-100A, in the treatment of NSCLC patients with controlled systemic disease, following SRS for 1-3 brain metastases (BM). The device is an experimental, portable, battery operated device for chronic administration of alternating electric fields (termed TTFields or TTF) to the region of the malignant tumor, by means of surface, insulated electrode arrays.

Experimental: NovoTTF-100A device
Patients will be treated continuously with the NovoTTF-100A device. NovoTTF-100A treatment will consist of wearing four electrically insulated electrode arrays on the head. The treatment enables the patient to maintain regular daily routine.

Active Comparator: Best Standard of Care
Patients will be treated as the best known standard of care for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer metastatic to the brain.

Show Detailed Description
Eligibility| Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
| Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
| Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age and older
- Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months
- Performance status WHO 0-2 (may be assessed under steroid therapy)
New diagnosis of BM from a histologically or cytologically confirmed primary or metastatic NSCLC tumor, meeting 1 of the following criteria:
- Stable systemic cancer for the last 3 months (achieved by surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy), defined as absence of symptomatic and radiological progression, according to RECIST Criteria
- Asymptomatic synchronous primary tumor (treatable by surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy)
- BM biopsy required if no extracranial tumor (unknown primary tumor) OR extracranial diagnosis made more than 4 years previously
Must have one to three brain lesions, confirmed by contrast enhanced MRI amenable to SRS according to the following criteria:
- Largest diameter ≤ 3.5 cm for single metastasis
- Largest diameter ≤ 2.5 cm for 2 or 3 metastases
- Stable or decreasing dose of steroids for at least 5 days before screening
- Patients must be receiving optimal therapy for their extracranial disease according to local practice at each center. Patients may continue on systemic therapy while receiving TTField therapy
Exclusion Criteria:
- Infratentorial metastases
- Leptomeningeal metastases
- Patients who previously received WBRT or SRS for BM
Significant co-morbidity which is expected to affect patient's prognosis or ability to receive optimal systemic therapy:
- Inadequate and clinically relevant hematological, hepatic and renal abnormalities defined as: Neutrophil count > 1.5 x 10 9/L and platelet count > 100 x 10 9/L; bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN; AST and/or ALT < 2.5 x ULN or < 5 x ULN is patient has documented liver metastases; and serum creatinine < 1.5 x ULN
- History of significant cardiovascular disease unless the disease is well controlled. Significant cardiac disease includes second/third degree heart block; significant ischemic heart disease; poorly controlled hypertension; congestive heart failure of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or worse (slight limitation of physical activity; comfortable at rest, but ordinary activity results in fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea).
- History of arrhythmia that is symptomatic or requires treatment. Patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter controlled by medication are not excluded from participation in the trial
- History of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 6 months prior to randomization
- Active infection or serious underlying medical condition that would impair the ability of the patient to received protocol therapy
- History of any psychiatric condition that might impair the patient's ability to understand or comply with the requirements of the study or to provide consent
- Pregnant, or women with an intact uterus (unless amenorrhoeic for the last 24 months) not using effective means of contraception
- Unable to operate the NovoTTF-100A device independently or with the help of a caregiver
- Implantable electronic medical devices in the brain
- Known allergies to medical adhesives or hydrogel
- Concurrent brain directed therapy (beyond SRS and TTField therapy as per protocol)
