Trial summary

This study aims to use a type of radiation (adaptive radiotherapy) to deliver curative-intent treatment to patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whose tumors would otherwise be too large for standard curative treatment. The study will use adaptive radiotherapy to achieve these goals. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 or older
  • Willing to provide informed consent
  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung carcinoma
  • Locally advanced stage IIIA or IIIB lung carcinoma according to AJCC 7th edition
  • Expected lung V20 of 35-60%, as determined at the time of 4D-CT simulation
  • Assessment by medical oncologist and radiation oncologist, with adequate hepatic and renal function for administration of cisplatin-based doublet chemotherapy, at the discretion of the medical oncologist

Who cannot join

  • Serious medical comorbidities or other contraindications to radiotherapy or chemotherapy
  • Prior history of lung cancer within 5 years
  • Prior thoracic radiation at any time
  • Metastatic disease
  • in some select cases, patients with a solitary metastasis (i.e. brain metastasis) may receive radical chemoradiotherapy after resection/ablation of their metastatic lesion, as standard practice. In such cases, the patient may be enrolled onto this study at the discretion of the local principle investigator once the metastasis has been treated.
  • inability to attend full course of radiotherapy of follow-up visits
  • Pregnant or lactating women

About this study

This study aims to use a type of radiation (adaptive radiotherapy) to deliver curative-intent treatment to patients with non-small cell lung cancer, whose tumors would otherwise be too large for standard curative treatment. The study will use adaptive radiotherapy to achieve these goals. Adaptive radiotherapy is a process whereby treatment plans are modified during the course of treatment due to patient and tumor variations (ie. weight loss or tumor shrinkage). This may allow for dose escalation, while limiting the side effects.

  2. Change in lung dose

    Measured: 2.5 years (end of treatment)

  3. Delivered doses

    Measured: 2.5 years (end of treatment)

  4. Radiation pneumonitis rates

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months (semi-annually)

  5. Local control

    Measured: 2.5 years (end of treatment)

  6. Overall survival

    Measured: 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Adaptive radiotherapy in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's 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 7 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 19 Feb 2015. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor 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?

Tumor reduction (time frame: 2.5 years (end of 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 19 Feb 2015.
