  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Biopsy-proven cancer verified at MSKCC
  • Imaging evidence of lymph node metastases, bone metastases or soft tissue disease
  • Age > or = to 18 years
  • KPS > or = to 80

Who cannot join

  • Target lesion not visible on conventional CT scan

About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation Study Using High-Dose Single Fraction Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Metastatic Lesions to Soft Tissue Masses, Lymph Node, or Bone

The purpose of this research study is to find out what IG-IMRT radiation dose works best for treatment of disease in bone or soft tissues. This protocol will study what dose level may work most effectively. The first part of study will treat 10 patients with 22 Gray. Gray (Gy) is the unit that is used to describe the dose of radiation that is being given to a person with cancer. After we confirm that 22 Gy is a safe and sufficient amount of radiation, we will then treat another group of patients with 24 Gy and so on until we reach 28 Gy. Each dose level starting with 24 Gy will enroll at least 20 patients per treatment site (bone, bowel and/or spine). Patients will be enrolled in each treatment category until 20 patients in each strata reach an evaluable time point of 3 months post-RT. When we understand what dose works best and has the least amount of bad effects, the study will then look to see how well the patients do after the radiation therapy. This study is trying to see how your doctor can best treat the cancer that has spread to the other parts of your body.

What participants receive

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

  • intensity modulated radiation therapyRadiation

    Patients will be accrued at each dose level beginning at 22 Gy with increments of 2 Gy up to 28 Gy. Patients with a soft tissue mass, lymph nodes or focal bone metastases with lesions large enough to be imaged on CT scan will be accrued. Starting at 24 Gy, patients will be stratified in to 3 treatment categories: lesions involving bone, bowel, or spinal cord. Patients will be enrolled in each treatment category until 10 patients in that cohort reach an evaluable timepoint of 3 months post-RT. The maximum accrual is 20 for 22 Gy, and 90 (30 per treatment category) for each subsequent dose level (24-28 Gy). Some of these patients have participated in the optional FLT-PET scan portion of the study. Some of these patients have under gone an optional MRI scan which take place within one hour of the radiation treatment .

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the feasibility of single dose image-guided intensity modulated radiotherapy (IGIMRT)for metastatic disease to soft tissue, lymph nodes or bones.

    Measured: conclusion of the study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To establish the maximal safe single fraction dose for osseous and soft tissue metastatic lesions using IG-IMRT in a Phase I dose escalation study.

    Measured: conclusion of the study

  2. To obtain information on the effect of high-dose external beam irradiation on the biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of FLT.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To obtain preliminary information on the changes in tumor perfusion resulting from high-dose, single fraction IGRT for patients treated with approach to focal metastases using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing intensity modulated radiation therapy in people with Metastatic Disease, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 17 Nov 2015. 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 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.

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?

To assess the feasibility of single dose image-guided intensity modulated radiotherapy (IGIMRT)for metastatic disease to soft tissue, lymph nodes or bones. (time frame: conclusion of the study). 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 17 Nov 2015.
