About this study

Official title: An Observation of the Change in Percent Lean Body Mass of Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Undergoing Radiation Treatment

RATIONALE: Learning about the effects of radiation therapy on the body's muscles, organs, and bones in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer may help doctors plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the effects of radiation therapy on the body in patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine energy and protein consumption on an average radiotherapy treatment day using the multiple pass method 24-hour analysis of food recall at baseline and treatment end.
  • To compare energy and protein by mouth intake from baseline to treatment end.
  • To measure and compare diet quality from baseline to radiotherapy treatment end by Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score.
  • To determine lean body mass versus fat mass using a bioelectrical impedance analysis machine.
  • To compare body fat to lean body mass percentage at baseline with that at radiotherapy treatment end.
  • To correlate energy and protein consumption with lean body mass at baseline and treatment end.
  • To determine the change in appetite throughout radiotherapy by comparing data obtained by interview at baseline and radiotherapy treatment end.
  • To determine the change in performance level (Karnofsky percentage) associated with the radiotherapy through a series of questions asked at baseline and treatment end.

OUTLINE: Patients receive radiotherapy as planned for 7 weeks. Patients undergo an interview on treatment day 1 (before initiation of radiotherapy) and treatment day 35 (after completion of radiotherapy) regarding recent food consumption history and appetite. Patients' standing weight and height are measured on these days and their body composition, measured with a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device, are also taken. Patients' Karnofsky performance score are obtained from their medical record.

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy and protein consumption measured on an average radiotherapy treatment day by multiple pass method 24-hour analysis for food recall at baseline and treatment end

  2. Comparison of energy and protein by mouth intake from baseline to treatment end

  3. Comparison of diet quality as measured by Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score from baseline to treatment end

  4. Lean body mass versus fat mass using a bioelectrical impedance analysis machine

  5. Comparison of body fat to lean body mass percentage at baseline and at treatment end

  6. Correlation of energy and protein consumption with lean body mass at baseline and treatment end

  7. Change in appetite throughout radiotherapy determined by interview at baseline and end of treatment

  8. Change in performance level (Karnofsky percentage) associated with the radiotherapy procedure determined by questions asked at baseline and end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Malnutrition, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Energy and protein consumption measured on an average radiotherapy treatment day by multiple pass method 24-hour analysis for food recall at baseline and treatment end. The study lists 8 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 14 Jul 2011.
