About this study

Official title: Accelerated Conformal Radiotherapy for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Patients With Pulmonary Dysfunction: A Phase I Study

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of specialized high-dose radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage I non-small cell lung cancer and lung dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated course of accelerated 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer with pulmonary dysfunction.
  • Determine the short-term and long-term toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine local tumor control, failure-free survival, and overall survival in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the effect of radiotherapy dose volume relationships and pre-treatment pulmonary function studies on the incidence of pulmonary toxicity in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive accelerated 3-dimensional (3-D) conformal radiotherapy daily 5 days a week for 3.5-6 weeks.

Cohorts of 8 patients receive escalating fractions of accelerated 3-D conformal radiotherapy until the maximum tolerated course is determined. The maximum tolerated course is defined as the course at which no more than 2 patients develop at least grade 3 dose-limiting toxicity and no more than 1 patient develops at least grade 4 dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing accelerated conformational radiotherapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 20 sites 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 14 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: Up to 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00009789, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Jul 2016.
