What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stereotactic Body RadiationRadiation

    Also called SBR

    3 fraction of stereotactic body radiation therapy within 10 days.

  • Radiofrequency AblationRadiation

    Also called RFA

    Subject will undergo radiofrequency ablation within 10 days of the last fraction of SBRT.

Study groups in NCT01051037
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1ExperimentalSubjects will undergo PET/CT simulation, 3 Fraction SBRT, RFA, and then undergo follow up.
Receives: Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiation; Radiation: Radiofrequency Ablation

What is being measured

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

  1. Achieve at most of 20% subacute or chronic grade 3 or higher lng, cardiac, or upper GI toxicity rate in patients treated with SBRT/RFA.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Achieve no more than 15% decline from the pre-treatment pulmonary function parameter (FEV1, DLCO) post-SBRT/RFA.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Achieve at least a 80% one-year local control (LC) rate by RECIST criterion or PET response (if applicable).

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Progression-free survival

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Overall survival

    Measured: 3 years

  5. Concentration of serum TGF-B as early biomarker for treatment-inducted normal tissue injury

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Concentration of serum VEGF as an early biomarker for response

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic Body Radiation and Radiofrequency Ablation in people with Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 14 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 6 May 2019. 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 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?

Achieve at most of 20% subacute or chronic grade 3 or higher lng, cardiac, or upper GI toxicity rate in patients treated with SBRT/RFA. (time frame: 3 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 6 May 2019.
