About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Randomized Phase II Study of Stereotactic Hypofractionated Radiotherapy With Body Frame Versus Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy for Stage I Medically Inoperable Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

A randomized phase II study for medically inoperable stage I non-small cell lung cancer where stereotactic body radiotherapy in three fractions to 66 Gy is compared with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to 70 Gy in 35 fractions.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter Scandinavian randomized phase II study of stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy with body frame versus conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for stage I medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer patients. There is a 1:1 randomization between arm A: Stereotactic radiotherapy to a dose of 66 Gy with 22 Gy per fraction at the isocenter (45 Gy covers the PTV) in 3 fractions during one week with body frame fixation and a planning target volume with a 5 mm margin around the macroscopic tumour, and arm B: Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to a dose of 70 Gy with 2 Gy per fraction in 35 fractions during 7 weeks with fixation in a vacuum pillow and a planning target volume with a 2 cm margin around the macroscopic tumour.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stereotactic radiotherapyRadiation

    Margin between CTV and PTV of 5 mm in transversal direction (except for small targets (<3cm) not fixed to thoracic wall or mediastinal structures, where margin should be 10 mm) and 10 mm in longitudinal direction. Planned heterogeneous dose distribution within the PTV with about 50% higher dose to the center compared to the periphery. Hypofractionation with 22 Gy times 3 at the isocenter (15 Gy at the periphery of the PTV)during one week will be used.

  • Conventionally fractionated radiotherapyRadiation

    Clinical target volume (CTV) comprises the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV), including its diffuse growth at the borders. Planning target volume (PTV) is defined as the CTV with a total margin of 2 cm in all directions. The patient will receive 35 fractions, with a dose of 2.0 Gy/fraction at the ICRU reference point to a total dose of 70 Gy. The treatments will be given five days a week. The total treatment time should be as close to seven weeks as possible. The aim is that the dose distribution should be as homogeneous as possible.

A heterogeneous dose distribution is used so 45 Gy will cover the PTV.

    Measured: At 36 months after randomization

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival

    Measured: At 36 monts after randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic radiotherapy and Conventionally fractionated radiotherapy in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Ass. Prof. Jan Nyman.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Freedom from tumor progression (time frame: At 36 months after randomization). 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 9 Dec 2014.
