Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether 3 tesla (3T) MRI functional imaging will map a tumor more accurately allowing a more targeted delivery of radiation. The investigators hope to learn whether tomotherapy will be able to deliver higher radiation doses safely to the tumor while sparing the surrounding normal… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multimodality Functional Imaging (MRS and Tumor Perfusion) Predicts Tumor Migration, Invasiveness, and Patterns of Failure of Human Glioblastoma Treated With Concurrent Radiation Therapy and Temozolomide

The purpose of this study is to learn whether 3 tesla (3T) MRI functional imaging will map a tumor more accurately allowing a more targeted delivery of radiation. The investigators hope to learn whether tomotherapy will be able to deliver higher radiation doses safely to the tumor while sparing the surrounding normal tissue.

What is being measured

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

  1. determine tumor response and pattern of failure using functional MRI imaging

    Measured: Study completion

  2. time to disease progression

    Measured: Study completion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. distinguish residual tumor from treatment-related necrosis

    Measured: study completion

  2. survival

  3. acute late toxicity of tomotherapy and hypofractionation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Functional MRI imaging and tomotherapy in people with Glioblastoma and Glioma, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta 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 5 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 24 Feb 2016. 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 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?

determine tumor response and pattern of failure using functional MRI imaging (time frame: Study completion). 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?
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 24 Feb 2016.
