About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced (Stage T2c and T3) Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II or stage III prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of radiotherapy using 3-dimensional (3D) conformal techniques in patients with stage II or III adenocarcinoma of the prostate. II. Determine the morbidity of high-dose 3D conformal therapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients undergo 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy 4-5 days a week for at least 8 weeks. Cohorts of 20-40 patients receive escalating doses of radiotherapy until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 10% of patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Patients are followed at 3 months, every 6 months for 5 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 40 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing radiation therapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002480, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jun 2013.
