About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Intensification Study Using Gated Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy and Concurrent Chemotherapy for Patients With Inoperable, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Radiation therapy technology that allows increased radiation dose to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue will improve the balance between complications and cure.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to establish the maximum tolerated fractional dose (MTfD) of radiotherapy to a total dose of 78Gy using gated IMRT, delivered in single daily fractions that can be administered concurrently with Taxol® and carboplatin chemotherapy. Secondary objectives include: to evaluate the toxicity of concurrent Taxol® and carboplatin with gated IMRT; identify partial organ tolerance doses for lung and esophagus when treating with involved field thoracic 3D; estimate complete response rate as defined by PET performed 3 months after completion of all therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fractionated radiation therapy followed by chemotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Virginia Commonwealth University 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 15 inclusion and 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2016. 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 was stopped early (reason given: insufficient accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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 (time frame: 3 years). 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 2 May 2016.
