About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study Utilizing the Zeiss INTRABEAM System for the Treatment of a Resected Solitary Brain Metastasis

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the area where a tumor was surgically removed may kill any remaining tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery to remove a metastatic brain tumor.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the 1-year local control rate in patients undergoing resection of a solitary brain metastasis comprising intraoperative radiotherapy using the INTRABEAM® system.

Secondary

  • Determine the survival of patients treated with this therapy.
  • Determine distant recurrence of disease in patients treated with this therapy.
  • Determine the toxicity of this therapy in these patients.
  • Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized study.

Patients undergo surgical resection of a brain metastasis. Patients then undergo intraoperative radiotherapy using the INTRABEAM® system.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then every 3 months for 2 years.

Patients are followed within 48 hours after surgery, at 1 and 3 months, and then every 3 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 31-62 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing conventional surgery and intraoperative radiation therapy in people with Metastatic Cancer, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Local control rate as measured by MRI with contrast at 1 year. 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 NCT00107367, 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 10 Jan 2014.
