Who may be able to join

  • 18 years of age or older, male or female, diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing or has undergone Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).
  • Patients must have undergone PDT with Photofrin® at a participating institution.
  • Patients scheduled to undergo PDT with Photofrin®
  • Cancer patients receiving some or all primary care (e.g.,cancer-directed surgery, systemic therapy, radiation therapy, palliative care)in the participating institution.
  • Cancer patients with a history of any type of cancer who have been no evidence of disease(for five years but without a history of distant metastases or evidence of relapse if they meet the previous criteria).

Who cannot join

  • Cancer patients who present to the participating institution with a diagnosis of a simultaneous second primary.
  • Cancer patients receiving all primary cancer care (e.g., cancer-directed surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, palliative care) outside of participating institution.

About this study

The data elements for the PDT Registry project include virtually all the elements in the standard hospital-based cancer registry record, although in some cases at a finer level of detail. All data points should be found in the participant's medical record. The principal difference between the PDT Registry data set and that collected by the registries is the inclusion of more information specific to PDT.

Read the detailed description

Participating centers will need to describe its own mechanism for patient identification and eligibility screening. A data manager, identified by the Principal Investigator at each participating center, will screen all patients for eligibility. Appointment, diagnosis and treatment data will be reviewed using information such as clinic records, appointment lists, pathology department records, OR schedule and/or tumor registries. Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be enrolled in the 3-year registry which will comprise retrospective and prospective parts. Patients will be accrued retrospectively for the first 12-month period of the registry. The retrospective part will include patients who received PDT with Photofrin® from 2007 up to 2012. Patients who are eligible but die prior to enrollment will also be included to minimize bias resulting from non-inclusion of advanced stage patients. The prospective recruitment parts will be three years. The estimated length of follow-up for each patient will be 3 years. Follow-up will be conducted by research study staff at each institution via medical record review, under the direction of the Principal Investigator at that site. No patients will be contacted at any point to obtain study data or for follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. A Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) research repository and de-identified registry

    Participating sites will be able to utilize aggregate, de-identified data to perform research on PDT, the patients receiving PDT, and their outcomes and complications after the procedure.

    Data collected includes the following:

    1. Patient Visit Form- Demographics Patient Identification Number Institution Number Study Type Surgeon ID Date of Birth Age at PDT Racial Background Gender Tobacco Use Alcohol Use Vital Status
    2. Pre-Treatment Primary Site Clinical Sta

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Survival following palliative and non-palliative PDT

    calculated by date of PDT treatment and date of death (where applicable)

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Short and long term efficacy of PDT in presenting symptom improvement

    Quality of Life Score before and after PDT

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Complications after PDT

    30-day mortality (yes/no), length of stay in hospital (number of days), assessment of PDT-related complications (ex: phototoxic reaction (yes/no), urgent re-bronchoscopy (yes/no))

    Measured: up to 3 years after

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Esophageal, run by Main Line Health 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 5 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2018. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patsy Skabla, PA (SkablaP@mlhs.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) research repository and de-identified registry (time frame: Up to 3 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 24 Aug 2018.
