About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Accelerated Hypofractionated 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy (3DCRT) For Inoperable Stage I/II Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the local tumor control rate at 2 years after accelerated hypofractionated 3-dimensional, conformal radiotherapy in patients with inoperable T1-3 N0 M0 non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the rates of regional and distant disease recurrence in these patients.
  • Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the changes in pulmonary function after treatment in these patients.
  • Assess the quality of life of patients after treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, prospective study.

Patients undergo accelerated hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy 5 days a week for up to 3 weeks (15 doses) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, at week 3 of radiotherapy, at 1 month after completion of radiotherapy, and then every 4 months for 1 year.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by NCIC Clinical Trials Group at 19 sites in Canada.

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 4 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites 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.

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?

Local tumor control rate at 2 years (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00346320, 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 4 Aug 2023.
