Trial summary

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of specialized radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II, stage III… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study of Accelerated Hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) in Patients With Stage II-IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Poor Performance Status

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of specialized radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II, stage III, stage IV, or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer and poor performance status.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To escalate the dose of accelerated hypofractionated image-guided conformal radiotherapy to a potent tumoricidal dose without exceeding the maximum-tolerated dose in patients with recurrent or stage II-IV non-small cell lung cancer and poor performance status.

Secondary

  • To evaluate local regional tumor control and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo accelerated hypofractionated image-guided conformal radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 3 weeks (15 fractions). Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for up to 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing hypofractionated radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 2 sites 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?

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 20 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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?

Dose-limiting toxicity (time frame: 90 days). 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 20 Aug 2020.
