About this trial
This phase I trial finds out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of papaverine when given together with chemoradiation intreating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Papaverine targets mitochondrial metabolism to decrease the cancer growth process. Giving papaverine with chemoradiation may work best to treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Eligibility criteria

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of papaverine (PPV) in combination with chemoradiation treatment (CRT) or definitive hypofractionated radiation therapy
Will employ the Time-to-event Bayesian optimal interval design to find the MTD. Treatment-related toxicity will be assessed based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 criteria.
Secondary outcomes
Primary tumor control rate
Defined as the absence of primary tumor failure. Will be calculated and 95% exact binomial confidence interval will be provided.
Local control rate
Defined as the absence of local failure, which is a combination of primary tumor and involved lobe failure. Will be calculated and 95% exact binomial confidence interval will be provided.
Time to local-regional progression
Will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier method.
Disease-free survival
Will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier method.
