About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Dose-Escalation/Efficacy Study of Palliative Extracranial Radiosurgery Using the Elektra Stereotactic Body Frame System

RATIONALE: Extracranial stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of extracranial stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well it works in treating patients with solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of extracranial stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with isolated tumors. (Phase I)
  • Determine the minimum dose required for local control. (Phase II)

Secondary

  • Determine the radiographic response rate.
  • Determine the median time to progression of the treated tumor.
  • Evaluate the toxicity of treatment.
  • Evaluate the cause of death.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II open-label study. Patients are stratified according to tumor size.

  • Phase I: Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery to one lesion. Cohorts of 3-6 patients undergo escalating doses of stereotactic radiosurgery until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 33% of patients experience dose-limiting toxicity within 3 months of treatment.
  • Phase II: Patients undergo stereotactic radiosurgery to one lesion at the MTD or at the dose at which local control at 3 months is ≥ 80%, as determined in phase I.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 month, 3 months, and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: At least 48 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose for up to 90 days after completion of study treatment

    Measured: day 1 through 90

  2. Minimum dose required for local control as assessed by RECIST one-dimensional criterion and volumetric analysis for 90 days after completion of study treatment

    Measured: day 1 through 90

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Median time to progression of treated tumor for up to 2 years

    Measured: day 1 to 2 years

  2. Toxicity as assessed by NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 2.0 for up to 90 days after completion of study treatment

    Measured: day 1 through 90

  3. Cause of death as assessed by medical records and autopsy at time of death

    Measured: variable, survival of the patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Radiosurgery in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2017. 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?

Maximum tolerated dose for up to 90 days after completion of study treatment (time frame: day 1 through 90). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00311597, 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 14 Mar 2017.
