About this study
Official title: Tomotherapy for Refractory Brain Metastases: a Single Arm, Single Center Phase II Trial
This clinical trial was designed to investigate the efficiency and toxicity of tomotherapy for refractory brain metastases.
Read the detailed description
This is a single-arm, single center, phase II trial to investigate the feasibility and toxicity of tomotherapy for refractory brain metastases, which are defined as A: multiple brain metastases(≥3 lesions); B: large brain metastases(with one lesion's volume is no smaller than 6cc or the longest diameter is no shorter than 3cm); C: meningeal metastases.
- Conditions
- Brain Metastases
- Being tested

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
tomotherapyRadiation
Tomotherapy: The regular fraction modes were as follows: a. lesions≥3 cm:52Gy/4Gy/13f or 52.5Gy/3.5Gy/15f; b. lesions<2cm:36Gy/12Gy/3f or 24Gy/24Gy/1f; for lesions located in function areas, it would be adjusted to 40Gy/8Gy/5f; c. lesions 2-3cm: 40-48Gy/8-10Gy/6-4f; d. lesions located in brainstem:50-60Gy/2.5-3Gy/20f; 3. multiple lesions with large lesion: whole brain radiation (WBRT) with 40Gy/2Gy/20f and concurrent boost of 60Gy/3Gy/20f of the lesions.
TMZ is used if necessary: concomitant TMZ: 75mg/m2 adjuvant TMZ: 150mg/ m2*5d, q28d, up to 6cycles.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing tomotherapy in people with Brain Metastases, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.
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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2017. 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 China. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jianping Xiao (86-13811026919, jpxiao8@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective response rate (time frame: 2-3 months after radiation). 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 Jan 2017.
