About this study

Official title: Consolidation Intensity-Modulated Whole Abdominal Radiotherapy for High-Risk Patients With Ovarian Cancer Stage FIGO III

The primary objective of this phase-II study is to assess the toxicity of consolidation intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy using tomotherapy in patients with advanced optimally debulked stage International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) III ovarian cancer with a complete remission after adjuvant chemotherapy.

36 patients will be treated to a total dose of 30 Gy in 1.5 Gy fractions. The planning target-volume includes the entire peritoneal cavity and the pelvic and para-aortal node regions. Intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy allows an effective sparing of liver, kidneys and bone-marrow (vertebral bodies and pelvic bones).

What participants receive

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

  • intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapyRadiation

    Consolidation intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy using helical tomotherapy to a total dose of 30 Gy in 1.5 Gy fractions

What is being measured

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

  1. compatibility of the treatment

    Therapy compatibility defined as non-occurrence of life-threatening grade 4 (CTCAE v3.0) acute toxicity

    Measured: Beginning of radiotherapy till 6 weeks after its completion

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Rate of incomplete radiotherapy

    Rate of incomplete radiotherapy due to treatment toxicity

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Rate of delayed radiotherapy

    Rate of delayed radiotherapy due to treatment toxicity

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Acute toxicity

    Graded according CTCAE Version 3.0

    Measured: From the beginning of radiotherapy till 6 weeks after its completion

  4. Late Toxicity

    Graded according CTCAE Version 3.0

    Measured: 6 weeks -3 years after the completion of radiotherapy

  5. Overall survival

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Disease-free survival

    Measured: 3 years after the completion of radiotherapy

  7. Quality of life

    assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 Questionnaire

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing intensity-modulated whole-abdominal radiotherapy in people with Ovarian Cancer and Tubal Carcinoma, run by University Hospital Heidelberg at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 12 Aug 2010. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nathalie Rochet, MD (0049 6221 56 8202, nathalie.rochet@med.uni-heidelberg.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

compatibility of the treatment (time frame: Beginning of radiotherapy till 6 weeks after its completion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01180504, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 12 Aug 2010.
