Trial summary

This study is intended to assess the feasibility of adjusting a radiation plan during its course to accommodate for a shrinking tumor target. The investigators hypothesize that an adaptive radiotherapy (RT) planning strategy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with chest-confined disease will allow for safe… Read more about this study

About this study

This study is intended to assess the feasibility of adjusting a radiation plan during its course to accommodate for a shrinking tumor target. The investigators hypothesize that an adaptive radiotherapy (RT) planning strategy for small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients with chest-confined disease will allow for safe delivery of higher doses of chest RT than a non-adaptive RT planning approach without subjecting normal critical structures to unacceptable doses of radiotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Adaptive RadiationRadiation

    Thoracic Radiotherapy which is adapted or adjusted during its course to account for tumor volume shrinkage which occurs during treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Differences in normal structure/target volume doses achievable using adaptive radiotherapy approach

    Differences in normal structure/target volume doses achievable using adaptive radiotherapy approach will be measured in centigray

    Measured: 12-24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Local control and patterns of failure

    Local control and patterns of failure

    Measured: 12-24 months

  2. Survival

    Measured: 12-24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adaptive Radiation in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 2 Oct 2014. 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 Canada. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

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?

Differences in normal structure/target volume doses achievable using adaptive radiotherapy approach (time frame: 12-24 months). 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 2 Oct 2014.
