Trial summary

Conformal dose escalated radiation therapy (CRT) is standard treatment for patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. CRT requires accurate daily localization of the prostate prior to treatment to correct for prostate motion and set-up errors. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Feasibility Study of Cone Beam Computed Tomography for Daily Image Guidance in Patients Receiving Dose Escalated Conformal Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Conformal dose escalated radiation therapy (CRT) is standard treatment for patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. CRT requires accurate daily localization of the prostate prior to treatment to correct for prostate motion and set-up errors. Cone beam computed tomography (CT) can accurately localize fiducial markers within the prostate. Cone Beam CT also provides important information on daily position of organs within the pelvis. This study aims to assess the feasibility of cone beam CT for daily localization of the prostate as well as document changes in size and location of pelvic organs during an entire course of CRT.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the feasibility of cone beam CT for daily on-line image guidance in patients receiving conformal radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To measure the amount of interfraction movement of the prostate and seminal vesicles with current bowel regimen of daily milk of magnesia.

  2. To measure the amount of interfraction movement and deformity of the rectum and bladder with current bowel regimen of daily milk of magnesia.

  3. To develop a technique for delivery of radiation therapy that reduces normal tissue toxicity, based on rectal and bladder avoidance models.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing daily Cone Beam CT for imaging guidance for radiotherapy in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 15 Feb 2011. 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 Canada. 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 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?

To evaluate the feasibility of cone beam CT for daily on-line image guidance in patients receiving conformal radiation therapy for prostate cancer.. 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 15 Feb 2011.
