About this study

Official title: Integrated 3D X-ray and Ultrasound Guided Radiation Therapy of Soft Tissue Targets

This clinical trial studies if kilo-voltage cone beam computed tomography (KV-CBCT) and ultrasound imaging works in guiding radiation therapy in patients with prostate, liver, or pancreatic cancer. Computer systems, such as KV-CBCT and ultrasound imaging, allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor may help in planning radiation therapy and may result in more tumor cells being killed.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To investigate the feasibility of combining on-board cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with ultrasound imaging to overcome the shortcomings of CBCT or ultrasound imaging alone for imaging guided radiotherapy delivery.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo ultrasound imaging prior to and during radiation therapy. Patients also undergo kilo-voltage cone beam computed tomography prior to radiation therapy.

Update (2021/02/04): Removed secondary outcome "Incidence of Adverse Events Related to the Ultrasound Probe". Per PI: Study initially intended to involve a non-FDA approved probe for use with liver patients but removed this section.

Being tested
Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, 3-Dimensional Ultrasound-Guided Radiation Therapy
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, Pancreatic Neoplasms, Prostatic Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Ultrasound Images Which Are Clinically Adequate for Treatment Set-up

    Percentage of ultrasound images which are clinically adequate for treatment set-up in the judgment of the treating physician

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Number of Participants Able to Have the Ultrasound Probe Attached During the Entire Treatment Course

    Proportion of participants able to have the ultrasound probe attached during the entire treatment course

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Percent of Patients Whose Plan Quality Was Not Not Affected in the Presence of the Ultrasound Probe

    Quality of plans for patients not affected in the presence of the ultrasound probe, defined as no more than a 2% decrease in tumor coverage, and also no more than a 2% increase in the dose to the most critical normal tissue for that tumor location

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cone-Beam Computed Tomography and 3-Dimensional Ultrasound-Guided Radiation Therapy in people with Adult Liver Carcinoma and Malignant Pancreatic Neoplasm, run by Case 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 2021). 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?

Percentage of Ultrasound Images Which Are Clinically Adequate for Treatment Set-up (time frame: Up to 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Feb 2021.
