Trial summary

This pilot clinical trial studies proton beam radiation therapy in treating patients with thoracic cancer that has come back and have received prior radiation therapy. Proton beam radiation therapy uses high energy protons to kill tumor cells and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Definitive Re-irradiation With Proton Beam Radiotherapy for Patients With Recurrent Thoracic Cancers

This pilot clinical trial studies proton beam radiation therapy in treating patients with thoracic cancer that has come back and have received prior radiation therapy. Proton beam radiation therapy uses high energy protons to kill tumor cells and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the grade 3 toxicity associated with thoracic re-irradiation with proton therapy, with prospectively applied normal organ radiation dose limits.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the efficacy of thoracic re-irradiation with proton therapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo proton beam radiation therapy per standard of care.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 months.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Greater Toxicity Attributable to Radiation Treatment

    Toxicity will be graded based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Grade 3 generally means hospitalization required for management of side effects.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post-treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Grade 2 Toxicity Attributable to Radiation Treatment

    Toxicity will be graded based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.0. Grade 2 generally means medical therapy required to intervene due to toxicity.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post-treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Local Control of Cancer

    Number of participants who did not have local failure as defined by: tumor progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria - at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions inside the full dose radiation field.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post-treatment

  3. Number of Participants Alive

    Number of participants alive.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Proton Beam Radiation Therapy in people with Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Lung and Recurrent Disease, run by University of Washington at 2 sites 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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Greater Toxicity Attributable to Radiation Treatment (time frame: Up to 3 months post-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 20 Nov 2018.
