Trial summary

Since radiation dose escalation to a large volume of tumour inevitably will induce higher toxicity than is currently the case, efforts must be made to limit the volume of tissue irradiated. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Individualized Hypoxia-guided Radiotherapy Combined With Standard Cisplatin-etoposide in Stage I-III SCLC

Since radiation dose escalation to a large volume of tumour inevitably will induce higher toxicity than is currently the case, efforts must be made to limit the volume of tissue irradiated. Moreover, the irradiation of larger tumour volumes leads to a lower achievable tumour dose when keeping the normal tissue doses constant. Central is thus the question whether it would be possible to limit the volume of tumour to be boosted by selectively escalating the radiation dose to specific disease sites which are theoretically more prone to relapse.

Read the detailed description

Hypoxic imaging with PET scans seems attractive for this purpose as hypoxia is associated with resistance for radiotherapy and approximately 70 % of SCLC are severely hypoxic at diagnosis[2].

We hypothesize that it might be possible to use a selective boost in these patients to tumor areas which are still hypoxic at the end of the standard chemo-radiotherapy to a dose of 45 Gy in 30 fractions in 3 weeks.

This way all SCLC (small cell lung cancer) patients can receive a safe, but higher dose of radiotherapy to the whole tumor volume, while the most resistant areas receive the highest possible dose.

This is a hypothesis generating trial designed to deliver at least the current standard treatment to malignant tissue while defining patient selection criteria for future study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing [18F]HX4 in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC), run by Maastricht Radiation Oncology.

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 18 inclusion and 1 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Cumulative local progression 18 months post-treatment as evaluated in a chest FDG-PET-CT scan (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 27 Aug 2013.
