  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Have 1-3 newly diagnosed supratentorial metastatic brain lesions with at least one being dominant and eligible for surgical resection as visualized on enhanced MRI scan

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study Utilizing Focal Radiation in Patients With 1-3 Brain Metastases

This study has been designed to compile information on the efficacy of the GliaSite RTS combined with radiosurgery in the treatment of newly diagnosed metastatic brain tumors.

Read the detailed description

Data relevant to the evaluation the effectiveness of the GliaSite RTS for a resected dominant brain metastases will be collected. The GliaSite RTS is a radionuclide applicator and liquid radionuclide (Iotrex) designed to deliver intracavitary radiation therapy for resected brain tumors. In this case, it will irradiate the resected margins. Brain metastases not surgically removed will be then treated with radiosurgery

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GliaSite Radiation Therapy SystemDevice

    GliaSite RTS is designed to deliver intracavitary radiation therapy for brain tumors. Following surgical resection, the balloon catheter is inflated to fill the cavity and Iotrex radiotherapy solution infused. It is a single applicator system that provides a uniform and conformal dose to the resection cavity.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the 6 month and 1 year local control rate for 1-3 brain metastases treated with intracavitary radiation therapy.

    Measured: Data collected at the time of implant, within 72 hours of implant, pre-brachytherapy, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, 1 and 3 months post brachytherapy and every 3 months thereafter

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival, distant brain recurrence, toxicity and quality of life.

    Measured: Survival

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GliaSite Radiation Therapy System in people with Brain Metastases, run by Hologic, Inc. 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 Jun 2008. 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 phase mean?

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?

The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the 6 month and 1 year local control rate for 1-3 brain metastases treated with intracavitary radiation therapy. (time frame: Data collected at the time of implant, within 72 hours of implant, pre-brachytherapy, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, 1 and 3 months post brachytherapy and every 3 months thereafter). 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 Jun 2008.
