Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with tumors of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis and extremities.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with tumors of the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Histological confirmation of oncologic diagnosis.
  • Completed oncologic imaging (per discretion of treating physician)
  • ECOG Performance Status 0-3
  • Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance.
  • Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring Phase of the study).
  • Provide informed written consent.

Who cannot join

  • Any of the following because this study involves an agent that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects:
  • Pregnant women
  • Nursing women
  • Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
  • Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens.
  • Immunocompromised patients and patients known to be HIV positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy. NOTE: Patients known to be HIV positive, but without clinical evidence of an immunocompromised state, are eligible for this trial.
  • Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

About this study

Official title: Spatially Fractionated Radiation (Grid) Therapy for Tumors of the Head & Neck, Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis, and Extremities

This study is an observational registry study evaluating the clinical outcomes of grid therapy. Subjects will be screened at outpatient clinic visit appointments and interested qualified subjects will be consented and offered participation in this study. Once consent has been obtained, baseline adverse event and QOL data will be collected and subjects will undergo grid therapy and follow-up at 2-4 weeks (for toxicity), and 3-6 months (for toxicities and radiographic control) then per clinical discretion up to 1 year. Patients will be evaluated according to the physician's standard practice and discretion. Patient data will be drawn from the patients' medical records and reported by means of a web-based electronic data collection (EDC) system. Patients will be considered "on study" until 60 months of observation has occurred, withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up, or study closure. See below for the clinical visit flowchart for data collected at baseline and standard clinic visits.

What participants receive

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

  • Spatially Fractionated Radiation (GRID) TherapyRadiation

    Grid therapy allows for high doses of radiation to be delivered over several spatially distinct, small regions. This permits regions of very high dose to a large tumor away from critical structures, which could be beneficial in both palliative and definitive treatments. Additionally, allowing for high doses to be delivered could pose a benefit for radioresistant histologies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Local/radiographic control rate

    Assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), a standard system to measure how cancer responds to different treatments, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. The local/radiographic control rate will be estimated overall and by palliative/definitive patient status in patients treated with grid therapy.

    Measured: 3-6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. To describe the adverse event profile (acute and late) of grid therapy by assessment of grade 3 or higher adverse events

    Assessed by the number of grade 3 or higher adverse events (acute and late) that occur after grid therapy. Adverse events will be defined based on National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5 criteria.

    Measured: through study completion, approximately 5 years

  2. Overall survival after grid therapy

    Overall survival is defined as the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive.

    Measured: through study completion, approximately 5 years

  3. Local/regional progression after grid therapy

    Assessed by the number of patients to have local and/or regional progression after grid therapy. Local progression is defined as cancer recurring in the same place as the original cancer or very close to it. Regional progression is defined as cancer/tumor that has grown or spread into lymph nodes or tissues near the original cancer.

    Measured: through study completion, approximately 5 years

  4. Recurrence rate

    Number of patients to have tumor recurrence after grid therapy

    Measured: through study completion, approximately 5 years

  5. Distant disease control

    Distant disease control is defined as cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to distant organs or distant lymph nodes.

    Measured: through study completion, approximately 5 years

  6. Planning and delivery of grid therapy.

    Total amount of time taken for planning and delivery of grid therapy

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Radiation Therapy Complication and Tumor Neck, run by Mayo Clinic 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 30 Jul 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/radiographic control rate (time frame: 3-6 months). 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 30 Jul 2024.
