About this study

Official title: INST 0810: Phase II Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Using Tomotherapy for Tumors of the Lung

The purpose of this study is to determine the response of lung tumors to radiation therapy. This study will be using a type of radiation therapy called tomotherapy. Tomotherapy is a relatively new kind of therapy which is able to focus a large amount of radiation to a small area with relatively less radiation to the surrounding non-cancerous part of the organ. This study is being done to find out if this technique is able to control the cancer better or not than the standard radiation and also to study its safety.

Read the detailed description

The introduction of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has allowed safe dose escalation in treatment regimens for cancer. Several studies have shown a radiation dose-response relationship for survival and local control for tumors of the lung, including cancer that originates in the lung (such as non-small cell lung cancer) as well as cancer that metastasizes to the lung.

The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate and toxicity of SBRT treatment of patients with lung tumors. This study will use a dose of 60 gray (Gy) in 5 fractions of 12 Gy. This provides a biological equivalent dose with alpha/beta ratio of 10 (BED10) of 132 Gy with the anticipation of achieving local control without increased toxicity. Previous studies have shown that the response rate with SBRT across multiple studies is approximately 50%, with an additional 25-40% of patients having stable disease. We hypothesize that this regimen will achieve a response rate of 70% with grade 3 toxicity of less than 5%.

What participants receive

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

  • Stereotactic Body RadiationRadiation

    Also called SBRT

    A total of 60 Gy using 12 Gy per fraction over 5 fractions to be given within 10 calendar days. Each fraction of 12 Gy will be divided into 2 fractions of 6 Gy given in one day within 6 hours. Dose will be prescribed to the isodose line which covers at least 90% of the planning target volume. Dose homogeneity +/- 5%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate (RR):

    RR is evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.0). Target lesions are assessed by computerized tomography (CT): Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. RR is the sum of the percentage of patients who achieved a CR or PR. (RR = CR + PR)

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Treatment Related Toxicity

    Toxicity will be evaluated per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0. Frequency and severity of adverse events will be tabulated and reported.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    The time from treatment initiation to death by any cause

    Measured: up to 67 months

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    The time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death by any cause. Progression is evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.0). Target lesions are assessed by computerized tomography (CT): Progressive Disease (PD), 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    CBR is evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0. Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. Partial response (P): >= 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter of all lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. CBR is the sum of the percentage of patients who achieve a CR, PR or SD (CBR = CR + PR + SD).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic Body Radiation in people with Lung Cancer and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance 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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 May 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response Rate (RR): (time frame: 2 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 21 May 2021.
