About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Non-Coplanar SBRT Re-Irradiation Using HyperArc in Patients With Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy with HyperArc software technology works in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate local control and toxicity of patients who receive escalated dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) reirradiation with HyperArc for recurrent head and neck cancer (rHNC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the clinical benefit of HyperArc through the analysis of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and locoregional progression-free survival (LPFS).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate dosimetric data including dose to target and organs at risk (OAR).

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo treatment planning with both standard radiation treatment software and HyperArc software technology. The most optimal plan will be delivered to a total dose of 55 Gy in 5 fractions, given 2-3 times weekly.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 1 year.

Being tested
Quality-of-Life Assessment, Questionnaire Administration, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Local control rate of the treated tumor target per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) response or positron emission tomography (PET) response

    Will calculate the percentage and construct 95% exact confidence interval for local control rate.

    Measured: At 1 year

  2. Percent of patients with acute or chronic grade >= 3 treatment-related toxicity per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0

    Data will be tabulated and summarized. Incidence of adverse events (AEs) will be summarized overall and with separate summaries for serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to discontinuation, AEs leading to death, etc. The overall safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study period. All AE data will be listed individually by patient identifier.

    Measured: At 1 year

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of OS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: The time between the first dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and death, assessed at 1 year

  2. OS

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of OS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: The time between the first dose of SBRT and death, assessed at 2 years

  3. Median OS

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of median OS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: The time between the first dose of SBRT and death, assessed up to 2 years

  4. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of PFS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: From the first dose of SBRT to the first objectively documented disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed at 1 year

  5. PFS

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of PFS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: From the first dose of SBRT to the first objectively documented disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed at 2 years

  6. Median PFS

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of median PFS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: From the first dose of SBRT to the first objectively documented disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years

  7. Locoregional progression-free survival (LPFS)

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of LPFS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: From the first dose of SBRT to the first objectively documented disease progression in either the primary tumor, adjacent to the primary tumor, or in the surrounding lymph node areas, assessed at 1 year

  8. LPFS

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of LPFS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: From the first dose of SBRT to the first objectively documented disease progression in either the primary tumor, adjacent to the primary tumor, or in the surrounding lymph node areas, assessed at 2 years

  9. Median LPFS

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to provide an estimate of median LPFS. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will also be presented.

    Measured: From the first dose of SBRT to the first objectively documented disease progression in either the primary tumor, adjacent to the primary tumor, or in the surrounding lymph node areas, assessed up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Quality-of-Life Assessment, Questionnaire Administration and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in people with Recurrent Head and Neck Carcinoma, 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 7 inclusion and 0 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 27 Aug 2024. 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?

Local control rate of the treated tumor target per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) response or positron emission tomography (PET) response (time frame: At 1 year). 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 27 Aug 2024.
