About this study

Official title: Comparison of Conventional Free Breathing CT, 4D CT, and Integrated Active Breath Hold CT Image Acquisition for Lung Cancer

This clinical trial studies computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing patients with lung cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as CT, may help find and diagnose lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Conduct a prospective clinical imaging study to quantify the amount of inter- and intra-physician contouring variability on four dimensional (4D) CT, active breathing control (ABC) CT, free breathing CT, and free breathing and ABC cone beam (CB)CT.

II. Quantify the magnitude and distribution of target and organ at risk volume variations between the different imaging modalities.

III. Determine dosimetric changes related to contouring variations for tumor and normal tissue.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo conventional free breathing CT, 4D CT, ABC CT, ABC CBCT, and free breathing CBCT before undergoing radiation therapy.

Conditions
Lung Cancer
Being tested
computed tomography, 4-dimensional computed tomography, cone-beam computed tomography

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of inter- and intra-physician contouring variability on 4D CT, ABC CT, free breathing CT, and free breathing and ABC CBCT

    A two sided t-test with 5% level of significance will be used.

    Measured: up to 1 week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Magnitude and distribution of target and organ at risk volume variations between the different imaging modalities

  2. Dosimetric changes related to contouring variations for tumor and normal tissue

    A two sided t-test with 5% level of significance will be used.

    Measured: up to 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing computed tomography, 4-dimensional computed tomography and cone-beam computed tomography in people with Lung Cancer, run by Virginia Commonwealth University 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2016. 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?

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?

Amount of inter- and intra-physician contouring variability on 4D CT, ABC CT, free breathing CT, and free breathing and ABC CBCT (time frame: up to 1 week). 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 7 Jul 2016.
