About this study

Official title: The Effect of Radiation Therapy on Tumor Immunity

This research trial studies the effect of radiation therapy on tumor immunity. Standard radiation therapy destroys tumor cells. In response to tumor cell death caused by radiation therapy, the body has an ability to stimulate an anti-tumor response (immunity), but this response is often ineffective in shrinking tumor tissue. Collecting samples of blood from patients before, during, and after radiation therapy to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the effects of radiation therapy on anti-tumor response.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the effect of radiation therapy on tumor immunity.

OUTLINE:

Samples of blood are collected before, during, and within two weeks after radiation therapy and then stored for analysis of anti-tumor immunity.

Being tested
cytology specimen collection procedure, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Outcome measures include changes in tumor-specific immune responses and general immune signature in patients undergoing Radiation Treatment. Reportable endpoints are absolute values of and changes in innate & adaptive immune cells and serum markers.

    Measured: The time line of interest covers a baseline, pre-treatment sample as well as mid-treatment and a post-treatment, follow-up sample at 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Neoplasm, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 1 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 18 Aug 2022. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). 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?

Outcome measures include changes in tumor-specific immune responses and general immune signature in patients undergoing Radiation Treatment. Reportable endpoints are absolute values of and changes in innate & adaptive immune cells and serum markers. (time frame: The time line of interest covers a baseline, pre-treatment sample as well as mid-treatment and a post-treatment, follow-up sample at 3 months.). 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 18 Aug 2022.
