About this study

Official title: TraceIT TM Hydrogel Tissue Marker for Patients Receiving Definitive Chemoradiation for Bladder Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies how well TracelT hydrogel works in localizing bladder tumors in patients undergoing radiation therapy for bladder cancer. TracelT hydrogel marks the location of a bladder tumor and makes it more visible during imaging tests. Using TracelT hydrogel tissue marker may help doctors learn more about tumor location and altering radiation dosage for bladder cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To utilize the TraceIT hydrogel tissue marker in localizing bladder tumors during transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT).

II. To improve identification of gross tumor or tumor bed location in patients receiving chemoradiation treatment for bladder cancers.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To report adverse events surrounding the placement of the TraceIT tissue marker.

II. To calculate the actual dose received by the bladder tumor bed, as delineated by the hydrogel.

III. To compare the dosimetric impact to the tumor bed of daily patient alignment to the pelvic bones, versus alignment to the whole bladder, versus alignment to the hydrogel markers.

IV. To calculate the amount of normal tissue radiation dose decrease achievable without losing tumor coverage, with better tumor targeting with hydrogel placement.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo transurethral resection of bladder tumors and receive TracelT hydrogel via injection. Patients undergo standard of care radiation therapy within 8 weeks of TracelT hydrogel placement.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Interfraction Motion of the Marker Measured by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CT) and x/y/z Coordinates

    Daily changes will be compared across the patient group as well as within each subjects' treatment course.

    Measured: Baseline up to 8 weeks

  2. Changes in Tumor Bed Size and Shape as Delineated by the Hydrogel and Measured by Cone Beam CT and x/y/z Coordinates

    Daily changes will be compared across the patient group as well as within each subjects' treatment course. These changes will be tracked during the entire radiation course (typically 4-8 weeks), yielded a distribution of x/y/z positions for each patient.

    Measured: Baseline up to 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Daily Dose of Radiation to the PTV as Based on Alignment to the Hydrogel Location Versus Alignment to Whole Bladder Location Versus Alignment to Bony Antonym

    Daily pre-radiation imaging will be used to run the radiation treatment plan, to calculate the daily dose to the PTV based on alignment to the hydrogel location, versus alignment to whole bladder location, versus alignment to bony anatomy.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  2. Daily Dose to the Planning Tumor Volume (PTV) Based on Hydrogel Location

    Daily pre-radiation imaging will be used to run the radiation treatment plan, to calculate the daily dose to the PTV based on hydrogel location. Total radiation dose to the PTV can then be calculated as the sum of the daily dose.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Caused by Hydrogel

    Graded by the Common Terminology Criteria in Adverse Events version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Smallest Setup Margin Required for Consistent Coverage of the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV)

    Daily pre-radiation imaging will be used to identify the smallest setup margin required for consistent coverage of the GTV, which is likely smaller than the current standard of care setup margin of at least 2 cm around the GTV.

    Measured: Up to 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogel in people with Bladder Carcinoma, run by University of Washington 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 25 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 25 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?

Changes in Interfraction Motion of the Marker Measured by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CT) and x/y/z Coordinates (time frame: Baseline up to 8 weeks). The study lists 2 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 25 Feb 2021.
