About this study

Official title: Functional Imaging of Treatment Effects: A Companion Protocol to a Phase II Study of Extracranial Stereotactic Radioablation (a.k.a. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy) in Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

For this companion protocol, we intend to make an assessment of both tumor response and local tissue effects. Patients undergoing the correlative investigation will be a subset of the patients already enrolled on the phase II study.

Read the detailed description

One of the shortcomings of the trial design recognized in the phase I study had to do with the assessment of local effects, both relating to tumor control and adjacent tissue toxicity. For example, response rates were generally incomplete to the therapy, especially at the lower dose level cohorts, and it was not clear if those patients had residual viable tumor capable of sustaining growth. Repeat biopsies in this population are prohibitively toxic. We generally followed these patients with chest x-rays and CT's until there was evidence of progression. At that point, we would perform a PET scan and repeat systemic staging. Since the majority of patients will retain residual "abnormalities" worrisome for residual disease, ideally, there would be data or testing capable of characterizing these abnormalities earlier in the post-treatment course. In the same token, several patients in the phase I study had post treatment imaging changes around the tumor targets. If these patients had symptomatic decline, it was never clear if the treatment effects around the target were actually involved in the overall decline. Certainly, the patient population selected has other medical problems that will continue to cause poor health. Ideally, though, we would refer to data indicating the degree of damage to surrounding normal lung from the ESR such that a realistic assessment of percentage of overall organ damage from the therapy can be ascertained.

What is being measured

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

  1. To characterize the effect of treatment on tumor metabolic activity as a function of time.

    Measured: 5 years from enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To correlate the first two objectives with outcome objectives of the clinical phase II protocol (survival, local control, and toxicity) in order to assess the ultimate utility of these imaging assessments in this patient population.

    Measured: 5 years from completion of enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Functional Imaging of Treatment Effects in people with Non-small-cell Lung Cancer, run by Indiana University.

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 1 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 11 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 characterize the effect of treatment on tumor metabolic activity as a function of time. (time frame: 5 years from enrollment). 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 11 Feb 2022.
