About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Computed Tomography-guided Brachytherapy Plus Chemotherapy for Locally Recurrent Rectum Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT guided 125I seeds implant plus systemic chemotherapy for locally recurrent rectum cancer.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this study is to determined the safety and efficacy of CT guided 125I seeds implant plus systemic chemotherapy for locally recurrent rectum cancer.The patients with recurrence in pelvic or on pelvic wall after rectal resection were treated with 125I seeds implant plus chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone. The side-effect, tumor response and survival data were recorded.

Conditions
Rectum Cancer
Being tested
Computed tomography guided radioactive seeds implant, Systemic chemotherapy (FOLFIRI)

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival which is calculated from the start of treatment to disease progression or death

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment related adverse events

    Including chemotherapy related side-effect and brachytherapy related adverse events.

    Measured: Eight weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Computed tomography guided radioactive seeds implant and Systemic chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) in people with Rectum Cancer, run by The First People's Hospital of Changzhou.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 22 Apr 2015. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Progression free survival (time frame: One year). 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 22 Apr 2015.
