Who cannot join

  • Patients with central tumors

About this study

Official title: VOLUMES Treatment of Larger Tumor Volumes or ≥ 2 Lung Tumors Simultaneously in Lung Cancer Patients Using SBRT in a Mean-lung Dose Escalation Study

Treatment of larger tumor volumes or ≥ 2 lung metastases simultaneously in lung cancer patient using Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in a mean-lung dose escalation study.

Read the detailed description

A phase I/II multicenter trial will be conducted in patients with medically inoperable with peripheral non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) > 5 cm without lymph node involvement (group A) or medically with ≥ 2 or more lung metastases (group B). Radiation pneumonitis is expected to be dose-limiting in these patients and there is evidence that the incidence is predicted by the mean lung dose (MLD). The MLD escalation will be performed separately in both patient groups, using a time-to-event continual reassessment method (TITE-CRM). All patients will receive 3-5 fractions SBRT to the lung tumor(s), with a minimum mean PTV dose ≥ 42 Gy. Fraction size may be downscaled based on the MLD constraint.

What participants receive

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

  • Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)Radiation

    Also called Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

    3-5 fractions within 10-14 days

  • Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)Radiation

    Also called Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

    3-5 fractions per tumor within one treatment session or sequential within one month

Study groups in NCT01543672
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
SBRT group AExperimentalescalate MLD in medically inoperable patients with tumors larger than 5 cm in diameter (primary or solitary metastases)
Receives: Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
SBRT group BExperimentalEscalate the MLD in patients with ≥ 2 lung metastases
Receives: Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

What is being measured

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

  1. MLD

    The assessment of the maximum mean lung dose that can be safely treated with SBRT and that is associated with a 20% probability of the DLT.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. loco-regional control

    Determine the local control and regional control as a function of the mean lung dose, the largest toxicity effects as a function of the MLD and the overall survival.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. overall survival

    Determine the local control and regional control as a function of the mean lung dose, the largest toxicity effects as a function of the MLD and the overall survival.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Quality of life assessment

    valuate the increase or decrease of physical discomfort.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in people with Lung Cancer and Metastatic Lung Cancer, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 5 sites in 4 countries.

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 13 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Canada, Germany, Netherlands. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

MLD (time frame: 4 years). 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 27 Jun 2019.
