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

  • Pathological (histologically or cytologically) diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); or if lung tumor is considered to be metastases (even from primary NSCLC), then clinical diagnosis is sufficient
  • For NSCLC: Staging workup at initial diagnosis demonstrates T2-T4N0M0, or T2-T4,N1-3,M1; node-positive patients will be allowed on study only if they have M1 disease; clinical diagnosis of M1 disease is sufficient
  • Patient is deemed (a) to be medically inoperable after evaluation by thoracic surgeon based on, but not limited to the following: baseline forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) < 40% predicted, post-operative FEV1 < 30% predicted, severely reduced diffusion capacity, baseline hypoxemia/hypercapnia, coronary artery disease, end-organ damage, or (b): patient has refused surgery after thoracic surgery consultation
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
  • NSCLC only: pleural effusion, if present, will undergo routine assessment for malignancy; inability to obtain fluid or non-diagnostic cytology will not preclude eligibility
  • Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 4 weeks prior to registration in women with childbearing potential
  • Able to provide written, informed consent
  • Minimum of 4 weeks from last dose of chemotherapy to start of treatment

Who cannot join

  • For NSCLC only: prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer) unless disease-free for a minimum of 2 years, including previous history of lung cancer
  • Prior radiation to the region of current cancer that would result in > 50% overlap of the old treatment field on the new treatment area based on radiation oncologist evaluation
  • International normalization ratio (INR) of > 1.5
  • Platelets of < 50,000 /uL
  • Inability to meet maximum point dose constraints

About this study

Official title: IR-guided Ablation (IRGA) Combined With Stereotactic Ablative Radiation (SABR) for Lung Tumors Larger Than 3 cm: Phase I Dose Escalation and Pilot Study With Companion Biomarker Analysis

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy when given together with ablation therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer or lung metastases. Ablation therapy, such as radiofrequency ablation uses a high-frequency, electric current to kill tumor cells. Ablation therapy, such as microwave ablation kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving ablation therapy together with stereotactic body radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

This is a dose-escalation study of stereotactic body radiation therapy.

Patients undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy once daily (QD) for a total of 5 fractions and then undergo IRGA (either radiofrequency ablation or microwave ablation) 1 week later.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks, every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    The MTD will be defined as the highest dose level where less than or equal to 33% patients incurred a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT will be defined as an acute (within 30 days) or subacute (31-90 days) irreversible grade 3 or any grade 4-5 toxicity (using National Cancer Institute [NCI]-Common Toxicity Criteria [CTC] version 4.0 criteria) that is possibly, probably, and definitely attributed to the therapy.

    Measured: 30 to 90 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Survival

    Rates of local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  2. Biomarker testing

    Size of tissue samples sufficient for DNA analyses

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. Pathological Response

    Pathological response, changes in protein expression, and biomarker correlations with clinical outcome

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  4. Quality of Life

    Quality of life (European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC])

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Stereotactic body RT and IRGA in people with Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance 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 8 inclusion and 5 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 Nov 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 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?

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.

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: Closed study as requested by PI due to lack of accruals). 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: 30 to 90 days). 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 Nov 2017.
