About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study Using Four-Dimensional CT Imaging to Evaluate Lung Strain in Patients Treated With External Beam Radiation Therapy for Primary Lung Cancer

Eligible lung cancer patients: Undergo pre-treatment 4D-CT study for treatment planning

External Beam Radiation: standard fractionation (2Gy per day) or stereotactic body radiation therapy

Evaluation: Repeat 4D-CT study at 3 months and 6 months post-treatment

Primary objectives: To assess pre-treatment global and focal lung strain and correlate with changes post-treatment

Read the detailed description

The study will be a prospective, non-randomized, single center, trial to assess and quantify lung strain using four dimensional CT (4D-CT) treatment planning scans. Patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer will be planned using 4D-CT to assess lung and tumor motion. Standard radiation treatment plans will to delivered based on tumor stage. Patients will be reassessed both clinically and radiographically using 4D-CT imaging at 3 months and 6 months post-treatment. Following the initial imaging time points, standard surveillance will be employed with clinical assessment and imaging at 3 month intervals for the first 2 years post-treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. validate lung strain modeling using 4D-CT in a lung cancer patient population to correlate pre-treatment strain with post-treatment changes.

    The study will be a prospective, non-randomized, single center, trial to assess and quantify lung strain using 4D-CT treatment planning scans.

    Measured: Pre-treatment (baseline) up to 6 months post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. correlate 4D-CT based lung strain modeling with standard lung function studies including pulmonary function tests and ventilation-perfusion scans.

    4D-CT based lung strain modeling comparison with standard lung function

    Measured: 2 years post treatment

  2. correlate pre- and post-treatment strain with clinical toxicity

    Toxicity correlation

    Measured: Pre-treatment (baseline) to 2 years post treatment

  3. correlate post-treatment strain with radiographic changes to the lung parenchyma

    Lung parenchyma correlation

    Measured: 2 years post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4D-CT pre-treatment scan in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of Louisville 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2021. 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.

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?

validate lung strain modeling using 4D-CT in a lung cancer patient population to correlate pre-treatment strain with post-treatment changes. (time frame: Pre-treatment (baseline) up to 6 months post-treatment). 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 22 Jun 2021.
