About this study

Official title: Phase IV Trial to Use Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Tumors

This study will evaluate the local control rates as well as acute and late toxicity rates of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of benign and malignant head and neck tumors.

Read the detailed description

This single site, non-randomized, prospective, phase IV study includes 3 patient groups to be treated with SBRT:

  • Benign tumors, such as paraganglioma, chordoma, chondrosarcoma, as the sole treatment or to gross residual disease after maximal safe resection
  • Malignant tumors, such as nasopharynx cancer and squamous cell carcinoma, after initial external beam radiation (Residual Disease Group)
  • Unresectable malignant tumors, such as nasopharynx cancer and squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinomas, and sarcomas which are recurrent after prior radiation (Primary RT Group) Data collected will include baseline patient demographics, pathology data, radiation therapy procedure, tumor recurrence data, and toxicities.

Follow up data will be collected during the patient's standard office visits. The anticipated duration of this study is 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing stereotactic body radiotherapy in people with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck and Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Mercy Research at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2020. 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 United States. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Apr 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Local Control Rate (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 3 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 10 Apr 2020.
