About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Daily CT Scans Using CT on Rails for Localization in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: New imaging procedures such as CT-on-rails™ may improve the ability to pinpoint the location of the tumor and decrease radiation therapy damage to healthy tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying how well computed tomography (CT) scans using CT-on-rails™ work in pinpointing the location of the tumor in patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Validate the software for CT-on-rails™ by comparing prostate target localization via daily ultrasound vs computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine the potential benefit of using fiducials in the prostate of patients undergoing daily CT scans and/or ultrasounds for localization.
  • Determine the intra- and inter-radiation treatment setup and target position uncertainties, in terms of isocenter coordinates in space, using both the ultrasound and CT scans compared to the coordinates of the isocenter determined at simulation, in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

  • Phase I: Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) using CT-on-rails™ twice weekly. Patients undergo BAT™ ultrasound daily for prostate localization. Patients undergo concurrent daily radiotherapy off study after imaging. After radiotherapy treatment is complete, patients continue to undergo scanning using CT-on-rails™ twice weekly.
  • Phase II: Patients undergo local anesthesia and surgical insertion of gold fiducial markers into the prostate. After 1 week, patients undergo a daily CT scan using CT-on-rails™ and bi-weekly BAT™ ultrasound. Patients undergo daily radiotherapy off study after imaging. After radiotherapy treatment is complete, patients continue to undergo scanning using CT-on-rails™ twice weekly.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients (20 per study phase) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing computed tomography and ultrasound imaging in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2010. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Validity of CT-on-rails software. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 12 Feb 2010.
