About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of PET-CT Scan in Patients With Non-operable or Non-resectable NSCLC Treated by Radical 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography and computed tomography, may help learn the extent of disease and allow doctors to plan 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of positron emission tomography and computed tomography and to see how well it works in planning treatment for patients undergoing 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.

This is a clinical study, as the patient will be treated using the PET-CT-GTV: - The pilot study is investigating the technological feasibility - The Phase II study will be a 2-stage Phase II study

Read the detailed description

Pilot Study- Primary Objectives:

  • Prospective evaluation of the technical feasibility of integrating PET-CT fusion in St Luke's Hospital
  • Rate of PET-CT Scan based treatment delivery

Pilot Study- Secondary Objectives:

-Comparison of GTV, PTV and OAR DVHs between conventional 3-DCRT plan and PET-CT based 3-DCRT plan.

Phase II Study- Primary Objective:

-The safety of PET-CT scan based radiotherapy, with regard to loco-regional disease control.

Phase II Study- Secondary Objectives:

-Comparison of GTV, PTV and OAR DVHs between conventional 3-DCRT plan and PET-CT based 3-DCRT plan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of successful delivery of PET-CT scan based 3-D conformal radiotherapy (Pilot)

    Measured: 2016

  2. Rate of loco-regional recurrence outside the PET-CT planning target volume (PTV) but within conventional 3-D PTV (Phase II)

    Measured: 2016

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Acute and long-term radiation-induced toxicity

    Measured: 2016

  2. Comparison of dose delivery to organs at risk, according to planning method

    Measured: 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing computed tomography, 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy and fludeoxyglucose F 18 in people with Lung Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Cancer Trials Ireland at 1 site in Ireland.

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 12 inclusion and 2 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 24 May 2017. 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 Ireland. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low levels of recruitment). 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?

Rate of successful delivery of PET-CT scan based 3-D conformal radiotherapy (Pilot) (time frame: 2016). 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 24 May 2017.
