Trial summary

This clinical trial studies fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting chemoradiation therapy (CRT) failure in patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Diagnostic procedures, such as FDG PET/CT, may help predict CRT failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Open Label Randomized Trial of Early Assessment of Therapy Response Using 18FDG-PET/CT in Patients With Marginally Resectable Stage IIIA (N2) Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Treated With Induction Concurrent Chemoradiation Followed by Resection and Adjuvant Chemotherapy

This clinical trial studies fludeoxyglucose F 18 (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting chemoradiation therapy (CRT) failure in patients with stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Diagnostic procedures, such as FDG PET/CT, may help predict CRT failure. Comparing diagnostic results during CRT may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine whether early response of the research positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography(CT) scan measured by change in Standard Uptake Value (SUV)max relative to baseline scan can predict induction chemoradiation therapy (CRT) failures sooner than post-treatment PET-CT scan.

II. To determine the optimal timing for 18FDG PET-CT that best predicts for induction CRT failure.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To correlate early 18 fludeoxyglucose (FDG) PET-CT response metrics with pathologic response, progression-free survival separately for: induction CRT failures vs. non-failures, or overall survival separately for induction CRT failures vs. non-failures.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 groups.

Patients undergo a baseline FDG PET/CT scan and receive standard radiotherapy (RT) for 28 fractions with concurrent chemotherapy.

GROUP A: Patients undergo a FDG PET/CT scan between RT fractions 5-6 (before course 2 of chemotherapy).

GROUP B: Patients undergo a FDG PET/CT scan between RT fractions 10-11 (before course 3 of chemotherapy).

GROUP C: Patients undergo a FDG PET/CT scan between RT fractions 15-16 (before course 4 of chemotherapy).

Approximately 6 weeks after completion of CRT, patients undergo a FDG PET/CT scan and undergo standard tumor resection.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Induction therapy failure

    Defined as any evidence by clinically unresectable disease based on tumor board consensus and review of restaging scans demonstrating locoregional progression or distant metastasis, surgically unresectable disease based on surgical exploration, or suboptimal resection disease still requiring pneumonectomy and still having R1 resection.

    Measured: 6 weeks after completion of chemoradiation therapy (CRT)

  2. Early positron emission tomography (PET) response of group A

    Measured by the change in Standard Uptake Value (SUV)max from baseline at the research PET scan in 1 of 3 scheduled time point.

    Measured: Baseline and between standard radiotherapy (RT) fractions 5-6

  3. Early positron emission tomography (PET) response of group B

    Measured by the change in Standard Uptake Value (SUV)max from baseline at the research PET scan in 1 of 3 scheduled time point.

    Measured: Baseline and between standard radiotherapy (RT) fractions 10-11

  4. Early positron emission tomography (PET) response of group C

    Measured by the change in Standard Uptake Value (SUV)max from baseline at the research PET scan in 1 of 3 scheduled time point.

    Measured: Baseline and between standard radiotherapy (RT) fractions 15-16

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pathologic response

    Measured: 6 weeks after completion of chemoradiation therapy (CRT)

  2. Progression-free survival

    Measured: Every 3 months for 2 years and every 6 months thereafter

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: Every 3 months for 2 years and every 6 months thereafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and fludeoxyglucose F 18 in people with Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center.

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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2012. 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?

Induction therapy failure (time frame: 6 weeks after completion of chemoradiation therapy (CRT)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Jun 2012.
