Trial summary

This study will see whether the addition of more frequent planning CTs during the course of radiation, and of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a diagnostic test similar to CT, prior to and during a course of radiation may provide information that could potentially be used during the treatment to improve the initial… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of CT and PET Imaging During a Course of Radical Radiotherapy to Determine the Dosimetric Benefits of Re-Planning in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This study will see whether the addition of more frequent planning CTs during the course of radiation, and of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), a diagnostic test similar to CT, prior to and during a course of radiation may provide information that could potentially be used during the treatment to improve the initial radiation plan.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PET/CT ScansDiagnostic test

    PET Imaging requires the use of an investigational drug, a radioactively-labelled sugar called 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). FDG is glucose labelled with a radioactive fluorine atom. It is given by intravenous injection and is particularly absorbed by cancer cells. The radioactive signal given off by the FDG can then be detected by the PET scanner providing an image of the cancer (or tumour).

What is being measured

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

  1. GTV volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using 4D CT (GTV4DCT) planning scans is a prognostic parameter for NSCLC.

    Measured: 2 weeks post RT treatment

  2. GTV volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using 4D CT (GTV4DCT) planning scans is a prognostic parameter for NSCLC

    Measured: 4 weeks post RT Treatment

  3. GTV volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using 4D CT (GTV4DCT) planning scans is a prognostic parameter for NSCLC

    Measured: 7 weeks post RT Treatment

  4. GTV volumes

    he ratio of the GTV volumes defined using 4D CT (GTV4DCT) planning scans is a prognostic parameter for NSCLC

    Measured: 3 months post RT treatment

  5. GTV volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using FDG PET (GTVPET) planning scans

    Measured: 2 weeks post RT Treatment

  6. GTV Volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using FDG PET (GTVPET) planning scans

    Measured: 4 weeks post RT Treatment

  7. GTV Volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using FDG PET (GTVPET) planning scans

    Measured: 7 weeks post RT Treatment

  8. GTV volumes

    The ratio of the GTV volumes defined using FDG PET (GTVPET) planning scans

    Measured: 3 months post RT treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/CT Scans in people with Lung Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto.

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 6 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 14 Aug 2020. 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.

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?

GTV volumes (time frame: 2 weeks post RT treatment). The study lists 8 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 14 Aug 2020.
