Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to quantify the variation in tumour middle position during a course of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and thereby be able to design radiotherapy margins that takes into account the full motion span throughout an entire course of SBRT. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to quantify the variation in tumour middle position during a course of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and thereby be able to design radiotherapy margins that takes into account the full motion span throughout an entire course of SBRT.

Read the detailed description

Lung tumours move with respiration. This must be considered when designing margins for radiotherapy. This movement can be quantified by fluoroscopy or 4DCT. It is possible to identify a tumour middle position for planning. This middle position will vary from day to day and the extent of this variation is not fully known. The aim of this study is to quantify the variation in tumour middle position during a course of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and thereby be able to design margins for patients that take into account the full motion span throughout an entire course of SBRT Patients: 15 consecutive patients with inoperable low stage lung cancer or solitary metastases to the lung (1-2) referred for SBRT - 45 Gy/3 fractions.

Methods: A gold coil will be implanted into the lung tumour one week before the planning. At planning and all treatment days supplementary 4DCT of thorax and two orthogonal fluoroscopy sessions will be performed. Tumour motion in the superior-inferior, medio-lateral and cranio-caudal direction will be measured and variation in amplitude and baseline for the tumour motion will be reported.

Perspective: By examining the variation in tumour movement it will be possible design margins for SBRT, accounting for the full tumour motion span and minimizing the risk of geographical miss and thereby optimizing the chance for local tumour control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing visicoil gold marker 0.7 x 20 mm in people with Lung Cancer, run by Gitte Fredberg Persson at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 26 Feb 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 Denmark. 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 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?

motion of lung tumours (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 26 Feb 2021.
