Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with AJCC sixth edition Stage Ib or II non-small-cell lung cancer with cytology or biopsy proven disease and a minimum tumor size of 3.5 cm are eligible.
  • To be considered node negative for N2 disease, patients will have mediastinal lymph nodes ≤ 1.5 cm and no clinically suspicious uptake on FDG PET in those areas.
  • All patients are required to have been evaluated by a thoracic surgeon and have either refused surgery or been deemed medically inoperable due to co-morbid conditions.
  • The CT images of the chest must be reviewed by an experienced interventional radiologist and the target lesion is determined to be in a location where RFA is technically achievable based on the proximity of adjacent organs and structures.
  • Age ≥ 18 years old
  • Performance Status 0-2 (ECOG)

Who cannot join

  • History of prior malignancy within the past 2 years except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia, T1N0 squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, or localized prostate cancer with a current PSA of < 1.0 mg/dL on 2 successive evaluations, at least 3 months apart, with the most recent evaluation no more than 4 weeks prior to entry
  • Previous chest radiation to the region of interest.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • A clinical diagnosis of bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) will be made for patients in whom tissue diagnosis is by cytology alone with adenocarcinoma shown and the following radiographic criteria are met.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing thermal ablation with external beam radiation in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 1 Aug 2018. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). 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?

Assess the initial safety of the combination of interventional ablation and external beam radiotherapy including acute and late toxicity (90 days). (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 1 Aug 2018.
