About this study

Official title: A Prospective Evaluation of a Palliative Radio-Surgical Approach for the Treatment of Gynecologic Malignancies

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiosurgery can send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies stereotactic radiosurgery using CyberKnife works in treating women with advanced or recurrent gynecological malignancies.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. The primary goal of this study is to estimate the rate of grade 3 or higher acute toxicities observed during a 6 month period following CyberKnife radiosurgery for gynecologic cancers.

II. To evaluate clinical response to radio-surgery for gynecologic tumors.

III. To assess general and site specific quality of life (using SF-12, FACT-En, FACT-O, FACT-Cx or FACT-V) and to evaluate patient's level of pain.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. As a secondary objective, toxicities during the 2 years following CyberKnife radiosurgery will also be described.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo 3 fractions of CyberKnife stereotactic radiosurgery.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

Being tested
stereotactic radiosurgery, quality-of-life assessment
Medical subject headings
Fallopian Tube Neoplasms, Uterine Cervical Neoplasms, Endometrial Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial, Vaginal Neoplasms, Vulvar Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • stereotactic radiosurgeryRadiation

    Radiation will be delivered in 3 fractions. The dose level will range between 500 to 800cGy per fraction at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist

  • quality-of-life assessmentProcedure or surgery

    Also called quality of life assessment

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute Toxicity Rate

    The incidence of grade 3 or 4 possible SBRT-related non-hematological toxicities observed during a 6 month period.

    Measured: at 6 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease-free Survival

    Median disease free survival

    Measured: completion of study at 24 months

  2. Median Overall Survival

    Length of time patients survived at study end.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Quality of Life

    Measured: After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

  4. Clinical Response Rate

    Percentage of patients with a clinical response following RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) Criteria: Confirmed complete response(CR), Stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or without progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: at 6 months from study entry

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing stereotactic radiosurgery and quality-of-life assessment in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Sarcoma, run by Case 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 7 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 28 Nov 2013. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Nov 2013). 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?

Acute Toxicity Rate (time frame: at 6 months after treatment). 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 28 Nov 2013.
