Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer
  • One to 3 intraparenchymal brain metastases by contrast-enhanced MRI, meeting the following criteria:
  • Well circumscribed tumor(s)
  • Maximum diameter ≤ 4.0 cm
  • If multiple lesions are present and one lesion is at the maximum diameter, the other lesions must not exceed 3.0 cm in maximum diameter
  • No metastases within 10 mm of the optic apparatus such that a portion of the optic nerve or chiasm would be included in the high-dose stereotactic radiosurgery boost field
  • No metastases in the brainstem, midbrain, pons, or medulla
  • No prior complete resection of all known brain metastases
  • Subtotal resection allowed provided residual disease is ≤ 4.0 cm in maximum diameter
  • No clinical or radiographic evidence of progression (other than study lesion\[s\]) within the past month
  • Patients with brain metastases at initial presentation do not require 1 month of scans documenting stable disease
  • Stable extracranial metastases allowed
  • No known or pre-existing liver metastases
  • No leptomeningeal metastases by MRI or cerebrospinal fluid evaluation
  • Synchronous brain metastases at initial diagnosis allowed
  • Performance status - Zubrod 0-1
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/mm\^3
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm\^3
  • AST \< 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Alkaline phosphatase \< 2 times ULN unless due to elevated bone metastases
  • Total bilirubin normal
  • Lactic dehydrogenase \< 2 times ULN
  • Creatinine \< 1.5 times ULN
  • No clinically active interstitial lung disease
  • Chronic stable asymptomatic radiographic changes allowed
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • HIV negative
  • Neurologic function status 0-2
  • No other major medical illness or psychiatric impairment that would preclude study participation
  • No history of allergic reaction attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to erlotinib or temozolomide
  • No concurrent immunotherapy
  • No concurrent biologic therapy, excluding growth factors and epoetin alfa
  • No prior temozolomide or erlotinib
  • No other concurrent chemotherapy during study radiotherapy
  • Other concurrent chemotherapy allowed after study radiotherapy, except for the following:
  • Temozolomide or erlotinib (arm I only)
  • Erlotinib (arm II only)
  • Temozolomide (arm III only)
  • No prior cranial radiotherapy
  • No concurrent intensity-modulated radiotherapy
  • Concurrent radiotherapy to painful bone lesions allowed
  • No concurrent radiotherapy to more than 15% of bone marrow
  • No other concurrent therapy for brain metastases unless a recurrence is detected
  • More than 30 days since prior investigational drugs
  • No concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs including, but not limited to, any of the following (for patients randomized to receive erlotinib):
  • Phenytoin
  • Carbamazepine
  • Rifampin
  • Phenobarbital
  • Primidone
  • Oxcarbazepine
  • No other concurrent investigational drugs
  • No concurrent Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort)
  • No drugs that alter gastric pH (e.g., proton pump inhibitors or H2 antagonists) within 4 hours after erlotinib administration (arm III patients only)
