Trial summary

This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with liver metastases or liver cancer. SBRT is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Liver Metastases and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Utilizing an MRI-Guided Tri-60Co Teletherapy System

This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with liver metastases or liver cancer. SBRT is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Combining MRI with SBRT may help doctors to highlight the tissues surrounding the tumor better.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the feasibility of utilizing an MRI-guided tri-60Co teletherapy system for liver SBRT, as determined the treating radiation oncologist's ability to accurately visualize and align to the target lesion(s).

II. To assess the feasibility of using a three versus five fraction scheme, for one versus multiple (i.e., =< 5) target lesions.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the tumor local control (LC), disease specific survival (DSS), and overall survival (OS).

II. To gather biomarkers that may elucidate differential immunogenic responses from the three versus the five fraction SBRT regimens.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo MRI-guided Tri-60Co teletherapy SBRT 3-5 fractions over 1-2 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at approximately 4-6 weeks, and then every 3 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Plan quality of the MRI guided radiotherapy vs. conventional linac radiotherapy.

    Comparing the plan quality of the MRI guided radiotherapy to conventional determined by the ability to create treatment plans that are comparable to those generated by a conventional linear accelerator, and by the treating radiation oncologist's ability to accurately visualize and align to the target lesion

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Feasibility of SBRT delivery by the MRI-guided tri-60Co teletherapy system, calculated by recording the number of patients for whom plans were or were not comparable between the two modalities

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Magnitude of target motion in three dimensional space as captured by real time imaging acquired by the MRI guided tri-60 Co teletherapy system

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Velocity of target motion in three dimensional space as captured by real time imaging acquired by the MRI guided tri-60 Co teletherapy system

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  5. Quality of real-time image guidance provided the tri-60Co system, as defined by the treating radiation oncologist's ability to visualize the target lesion using the on-board MRI

    Measured: Up to 2 tears

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Collection of biomarkers that may be associated with an immunologic systemic response to SBRT

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. DSS

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Frequency of acute grade 2-5 gastrointestinal toxicity graded using the Common Toxicity Criteria version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Infield tumor LC

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  5. OS

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  6. Validity of automatically segmented contours generated by the MRI-guided tri-60Co teletherapy system through independent evaluation of images obtained

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Image-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in people with Adult Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Metastatic Malignant Neoplasm in the Liver, 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 21 Feb 2023. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Plan quality of the MRI guided radiotherapy vs. conventional linac radiotherapy. (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 5 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 21 Feb 2023.
