About this study

Official title: The French Registry Of Morbidity And Mortality Reviews (MMR) Meetings: Prospective Registration Of Clinical, Dosimetric And Individual Biological Radiosensitivity Data Of Patients With Severe Radiation Toxicity (PROUST STUDY)

Background: Recently, an increasing international interest has arisen in using morbidity and mortality rates to monitor the quality of hospital cares (1, 2). Many hospitals have integrated the morbidity and mortality review (MMR) meetings into their governance processes, by making them mandatory and more accountable for taking corrective action (3-5).

Quality of radiotherapy (RT) delivery is highly operator dependent. The operator is a team of professionals including radiation oncologists, planning dosimetrists, physicists and technicians. Because of this complex, multi-step process, there is margin for error, which may affect outcomes and toxicity. Some deviations may have minimal effects on outcome, while others may have a profound effect and compromise long-term results. For the morbidity after RT, MMR is identified as one of the most adapted process to highlight whether and how these meetings provide assurance within the organizations' governance processes in radiation departments.

In France, many teams have not reached a formalized procedure for a systematic MMR. Furthermore, implementation of MMR in RT departments is very heterogeneous and not always meets the criteria defined by the Health Authorities (HAS) (6).

Systemic analysis conducted during the MMR is a comprehensive analysis of the situation, taking into account all technical and human elements. The diagnosis and type of morbidity depends on the irradiated volume, the dose delivered to the organ at risk and the individual radiosensitivity.

Follow-up after RT is important to evaluate outcome results and late toxicity. In general, late effects consist of tissue fibrosis and vascular damage, which can result in cosmetic and functional deterioration. Some of the radiation-induced sequelea may require particular management including hospitalization (lung fibrosis, gastro-intestinal and genito-urinary toxicities,..), while for other ones, only local treatments are needed (mucosal toxicity, skin fibrosis…). The challenge for clinicians in the frame of the MMR is to make sure that there is no controversy about the delivered RT quality and investigate other potential causes such as particular intrinsic radiosensitivity of the patient for a given standard treatment.

Read the detailed description

The study consist of a prospective registration in a dedicated database (PROUST) of severe radiation toxicity that aims to implement MMR procedure in the French radiotherapy departments.

What is being measured

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

  1. Database of MMR boards

    The PROUST national database of MMR boards, will be an opportunity to structure data collection on severe and durable radiation toxicity with an objective evaluation taking into account individual radiosensitivity.

    Measured: at 3 Months

  2. Database of MMR boards

    The PROUST national database of MMR boards, will be an opportunity to structure data collection on severe and durable radiation toxicity with an objective evaluation taking into account individual radiosensitivity.

    Measured: at 6 Months

  3. Database of MMR boards

    The PROUST national database of MMR boards, will be an opportunity to structure data collection on severe and durable radiation toxicity with an objective evaluation taking into account individual radiosensitivity.

    Measured: at 9 Months

  4. Database of MMR boards

    The PROUST national database of MMR boards, will be an opportunity to structure data collection on severe and durable radiation toxicity with an objective evaluation taking into account individual radiosensitivity.

    Measured: at 12 Months

  5. Database of MMR boards

    The PROUST national database of MMR boards, will be an opportunity to structure data collection on severe and durable radiation toxicity with an objective evaluation taking into account individual radiosensitivity.

    Measured: at 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Radiation toxicity

    The rating scale NCI/CTCAE v4.03 will be used to differentiate between major and minor complications. Only major complications (grade > 3) will be included in the database.

    Measured: at Day 0

  2. Associated treatments to radiation

    All drugs used either administered concurrently or sequentially with RT will be recorded

    Measured: at Day 0, 3 Months, 6 Months, 9 Months,12 Months, 15 Months, 18 Months, 21 Months and 24 Months

  3. Follow-up and management strategy

    Patients included in the database will have a planned follow-up every 3 to 6 months after inclusion during at least 2 years.The follow-up will be adjusted according to institution policy of the oncologic follow-up in case of regression of the clinical symptoms of toxicity.

    Measured: at Day 0, 3 Months, 6 Months, 9 Months,12 Months, 15 Months, 18 Months, 21 Months and 24 Months

  4. Evolution of life's quality

    The evaluation of the quality of life will be conducted using the Short-Form 36 questionnaire. This generic scale contains 36 items divided into eight dimensions, each corresponding to a different aspect of health and for a comprehensive assessment of the quality of life.

    Measured: at Day 0, 3 Months, 6 Months, 9 Months,12 Months, 15 Months, 18 Months, 21 Months and 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Morbidity Mortality Review (MMR) in people with Radiotherapy, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Database of MMR boards (time frame: at 3 Months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
