Trial summary

Lung cancer [LC] is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The standard treatment of locally advanced lung cancer unresectable or marginally resectable is combination therapy with radical or preoperative chemoradiation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical, Biochemical, Dosimetric and Functional Respiratory Predictors of Radiation Pneumonitis in Locally Advanced Lung Cancer (Stages IIIa and IIIb) Treated With Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy

Lung cancer [LC] is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The standard treatment of locally advanced lung cancer unresectable or marginally resectable is combination therapy with radical or preoperative chemoradiation. The local control rates and survival with this treatment modality have increased by more than 30%. Radiotherapy [RT] with technical molded 3D [3D-CRT, Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy] or IMRT [intensity-modulated radiation therapy] has allowed that the total dose of radiation has increased which leads to a direct benefit on the results treatment.

Between 17-30% of patients are susceptible to pneumonitis due to radiation [NR]. This complication may appear at the end of the RT or up to 6 months after the treatment. In severe cases, mortality can reach 50%.

It's well known that in various diseases, functional abnormalities precede the clinical manifestations. The degree of pulmonary failure secondary to RT is measured following the standards of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group who ranks in degrees [0 to 4].

Not precisely known factors that influence the development of NR.

Objectives:

To evaluate the effect of chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy on pulmonary function and identify predictors of radiation pneumonitis in locally advanced lung cancer [stages IIIA and IIIB].

Hypothesis:

Respiratory function tests may predict the development of radiation pneumonitis in patients with locally advanced lung cancer who receive radical treatment with chemoradiation.

Methods Prospective cohort study with patients with locally advanced lung cancer of the Lung Cancer Clinic of the National Cancer Institute [INCAN]. Patients will receive weekly paclitaxel 50 mg and carboplatin AUC 2 with concomitant radiotherapy 44-63 Gy (22-33 fractions). Followup of lung function tests at baseline, during treatment with radiotherapy and will be carried out on 4 more occasions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Radiation; Adverse Effect, Pneumonitis, run by Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia de Mexico at 1 site in Mexico.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2017. 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 Mexico. 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?

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?

Evaluate pulmonary function after chemoradiation treatment in locally advanced NSCLC patients. (time frame: January 2012 to December 2014). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01580579, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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.
