About this study

Official title: Randomised Clinical Phase III Study of Radiotherapy Dose, Volume Evaluation for 3DCRT Versus IGRT and Analysis of Early Response in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study aims to study the impact image guided radiotherapy with Cone beam CT will have on the outcomes(toxicities and response) of head and neck cancer when compared to 3D conformal radiotherapy without CBCT based setup error verification.Also,the various dosimetric variations in Adaptive RT will be studied.

Read the detailed description

Aims and Objectives

  1. To assess the patient's radiation dose planning for GTV, CTV and PTV for primary and nodal regions and derive comparison between IGRT and 3D-CRT.
  2. To assess the dosimetric variation in different phases of adaptive RT due to changes in tumor shape and volume during the course of entire treatment in IGRT arm in head and neck cancer patients.
  3. To evaluate the optimal setup correction methodology using planar (EPID) and volumetric images (CBCT) in HNSCC between 3D-CRT and IGRT treatment delivery respectively.
  4. To compare the early tumour response and acute and chronic radiation morbidities between IGRT and 3D-CRT.
Being tested
EPID Verification, CBCT verification
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • EPID VerificationRadiation

    Also called EPID, 3DCRT, HNSCC

Study groups in NCT01124409
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
3DCRT with EPIDActive comparatorthis patients randomised to this arm will be planned by 3DCRT and during treatment setup error will be identified and corrected by weekly EPID if error >3mm.Weekly CBCT will be done for this arm to note the setup error but will not be corrected.
Receives: Radiation: EPID Verification
IGRT with CBCTActive comparatorThe patients randomised to this arm will be planned by 3DCRT and set up error during RT will be verified by CBCT and error corrected if >3mm.Weekly EPID will be done for setup error documentation but no correction based on EPID in this arm.
Receives: Radiation: CBCT verification

What is being measured

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

  1. compare the early tumour response between 3DCRT and IGRT in head and neck cancer.

    The advent of CBCT has increased the verification of Radiation treatment delivery but whether it leads to significant change in tumour response or toxicities when compared to 3D Conformal Radiotherapy without CBCT verification is not known.This study will give insights into this question.

    Measured: Assessment at post RT week, 1 month after completion of RT and 6 month after completion of RT. Final assessment of last recruited patient is anticipated to be by AUGUST 2011

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To assess and compare early and late toxicities between 3DCRT and IGRT in head and neck cancer

    Assessment will be done by RTOG scoring criteria

    Measured: assessment of acute and chronic toxicities of the last recruited patient anticipated to be by March 2011

  2. To find out the different doses received by target and organs at risk during the various phases of adaptive RT.

    Measured: last measurement by AUG 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing EPID Verification and CBCT verification in people with HEAD AND NECK CANCER and CARCINOMA OROPHARYNX, run by All India Institute of Medical Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2011. 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 India. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

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?

compare the early tumour response between 3DCRT and IGRT in head and neck cancer. (time frame: Assessment at post RT week, 1 month after completion of RT and 6 month after completion of RT. Final assessment of last recruited patient is anticipated to be by AUGUST 2011). 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 23 Jun 2011.
