Trial summary

Little is known about the safety of body radiation therapy (SBRT), especially the impact on pulmonary function, quality of life, and on functional changes within the lung itself. Radiation dose constraints and capturing functional changes on imaging are not well studied in this setting. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Functional Outcomes for Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy of Lung Lesions in High Risk Patients

Little is known about the safety of body radiation therapy (SBRT), especially the impact on pulmonary function, quality of life, and on functional changes within the lung itself. Radiation dose constraints and capturing functional changes on imaging are not well studied in this setting.

The current study aims to evaluate the utility of advanced imaging to measure lung function prior to and after treatment and to assess the feasibility of using this data to adapt SBRT planning.

Read the detailed description

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is becoming a new standard for unresectable lung metastases and primary lung cancers.

However, it is becoming increasingly common for patients to undergo multiple courses of lung SBRT to synchronous and/or metachronous lung lesions. Further, the indications for SBRT are being expanded to patients who have very poor pulmonary function such as FEV1 < 0.5 L or DLCO < 35% predicted, who have large tumors (>3 cm), or who have centrally located lesions that abut great vessels and mainstem bronchi. Little is known about the safety of such treatments, especially the impact on pulmonary function, quality of life, and on functional changes within the lung itself. Radiation dose constraints and capturing functional changes on imaging are not well studied in this setting.

The current study aims to evaluate the utility of advanced imaging to measure lung function prior to and after treatment and to assess the feasibility of using this data to adapt SBRT planning. SPECT/CT will be used to measure ventilation and perfusion changes while. CT ventilation scans will be used to correlate functional changes observed on diagnostic SPECT/CT. Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) will also be used to explore local vascular changes in the treated tumor. In patients whose tumors lie close to the heart, cardiac MRI will be used to investigate whether high doses of radiation per fraction are associated with changes in cardiac function. These imaging modalities may be used to potentially predict toxicity and patient response with the ultimate goal of prospectively adapt dose to individual patient and tumor characteristics. Lung function prior to and post-treatment will also be measured as a correlate of functional imaging changes. Identifying areas of the lung that are sub-functional or low-functioning may offer an opportunity to adapt stereotactic ablations that spare functional lung thereby making SBRT treatments to higher risk patients safer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Longitudinal Changes in Lung Function

    To characterize longitudinal changes in lung function using SPECT/CT and CT ventilation scans in "high risk" patients undergoing standard SBRT treatments.

    Measured: From baseline to 6 months post Radiation Treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Dosimetric Predictors to Assess Changes in Toxicity

    To explore radiation dosimetric predictors and correlates of SPECT-CT and CT ventilation functional imaging that predict toxicity in these patients.

    Measured: From baseline to 6 months post Radiation Treatment

  2. Changes in SPECT-CT Correlate with Changes in CT Ventilation

    To determine if early functional changes in SPECT-CT correlate with changes in CT ventilation, pulmonary function and patient reported decrements in lung function on the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).

    Measured: From baseline to 6 months post Radiation Treatment

  3. To Assess Early Vascular Changes Using DCE-MRI

    To assess early vascular changes using DCE-MRI in the lung tumor treated with SBRT as a possible predictor of tumor response.

    Measured: From baseline to 6 months post Radiation Treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel 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 9 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 17 Oct 2019. 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 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?

Longitudinal Changes in Lung Function (time frame: From baseline to 6 months post Radiation Treatment). 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 17 Oct 2019.
