About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Dose-Finding Study of Single-Fraction Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SF-SBRT) for the Treatment of Liver Metastases

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic radiation therapy in treating patients with liver metastases.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a phase I/II, dose-escalation study.

Phase I: Patients undergo either percutaneous placement of metallic fiducial markers within the liver or respiratory-correlated cone-beam computed tomography for stereotactic targeting and planning. Patients then undergo single-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy over approximately 1 hour within 1 week of the marker placement.

Phase II: Patients undergo treatment as in phase I at the maximum tolerated dose. After completion of study treatment, patients will be followed at weeks 4 and 12 and then every 3 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Single-fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SF-SBRT) in Hepatic Metastases.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Determine the Minimum Effective Dose (MED) Necessary for Durable Local Control, Defined as the Dose Level at Which Local Control (LC) is >= 80% at 1 Year. (Phase II)

    LC is defined as no evidence of disease progression within the volume treated to prescription dose (i.e. PTV) for a specific lesion. The development of new intrahepatic metastases sites outside of the PTV will not be considered local failures.

    Measured: At 1 year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Toxicity and Adverse Events Profile (Phase I)

    Number of patients with a grade >= 3 adverse event.

    Adverse events were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3.

    Description of Grades:

    Grade 1: Mild Grade 2: Moderate Grade 3: Severe Grade 4: Life-threatening Grade 5: Death

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Patient Clinical Response and Treatment Effects on Blood Chemistry and Hepatic Function Markers (Phase I)

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Radiographic Response Rate (Phase II)

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Local Control (LC) Cumulative Incidence Rates (Phase II)

    Measured: 3 and 6 months and 1, 2, and 5 years

  5. Median Time to Progression of Treated Tumors (Phase II)

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  6. Refinement of Toxicity and Adverse Events Profile (Phase II)

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  7. Refinement of Patient Clinical Response and Treatment Effects on Blood Chemistry and Hepatic Function Markers (Phase II)

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  8. Evaluation of Cause of Death (Phase II)

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing stereotactic radiation therapy, implanted fiducial-based imaging and cone-beam computed tomography in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, run by Mayo Clinic 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 19 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2012). 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?

Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Single-fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SF-SBRT) in Hepatic Metastases. (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 May 2016.
