About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Trial of Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) Versus Observation for Patients With Asymptomatic Cerebral Oligo-metastases in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The need of radiosurgery is controversial for asymptomatic oligo brain metastasis for non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Therefore, the investigators do a randomized study comparing overall survival between two groups with or without radiosurgery for asymptomatic oligo brain metastasis before palliative chemotherapy for NSCLC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Radiosurgery and Observation in people with Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 inclusion and 4 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 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

Contact Myung-Ju Ahn, Pf (82-2-3410-3459, silkahn@skku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: 1 year after the enrollment of the last patient). 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 NCT01301560, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Feb 2011.
