Proton Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
A Early Phase 1 study testing SBRT with proton beam radiation in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a special form of treatment which pinpoints high doses of radiation directly to cancer. Standard radiation (or photon radiation) is commonly used for SBRT to treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Proton Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for Medically Inoperable, Peripheral Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): A Pilot Study
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a special form of treatment which pinpoints high doses of radiation directly to cancer. Standard radiation (or photon radiation) is commonly used for SBRT to treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Proton beam radiation is a special type of radiation only available at a few institutions in the US and has not been previously used in SBRT to treat NSCLC. The use of protons for SBRT may improve the accuracy of the treatment and may help to minimize the dose delivered unnecessarily to healthy tissue.
In this study, the investigators are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of proton-based SBRT for early-stage NSCLC located in the periphery of the lung.
Read the detailed description
Subjects will undergo an electronic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) during which three markers will be placed around their tumor which will guide the delivery of proton beam radiation to their with more precision and accuracy.
Subjects will receive a CT scan to obtain images to plan radiation treatment. Proton radiation will be delivered daily (4 or 5 consecutive days) on an outpatient basis at Massachusetts General Hospital.
After the final dose of proton radiation subjects will be followed for 5 years. Subjects will be asked to return at 3 months, and then every 3 months until 2 years, and then every 6 months until 5 years. Subjects will receive a chest CT, tumor assessment by CT or PET, chest x-ray, pulmonary function tests and a physical exam.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

Standard radiation (or photon radiation) is commonly used for SBRT to treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Proton beam radiation is a special type of radiation only available at a few institutions in the US and has not been previously used in SBRT to treat NSCLC. The use of protons for SBRT may improve the accuracy of the treatment and may help to minimize the dose delivered unnecessarily to healthy tissue.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing SBRT with proton beam radiation in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2016. 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?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). 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?
Feasibility and safety (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 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 17 Feb 2016.
