About this study

This study is prospective, two-center, single-arm objective performance criteria. This trial will be conducted in 2 clinical trial sites with a total of 47 subjects enrolled. All of subjects will be treated with radiation therapy using the medical device Varian ProBeam Proton Therapy System (ProBeam), aim to compare the data with objective performance criteria to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ProBeam radiotherapy system for oncology patients, providing clinical evidence for the medical device registration.

Read the detailed description

Oncology patients, including tumors of the nervous system, head and neck, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvic cavity, limbs and other tumors. The screening period from informed consent to enrollment is expected to be 4 weeks, while the treatment period is 1 to 8 weeks. The period after the last treatment is divided into short-term follow-up and long-term follow-up, in which short-term follow-up is 3 months after treatment completion and long-term follow-up is 5 years after the end of the last radiotherapy session.

The clinical trial with short-term follow-up fulfills the requirements for National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) regulatory registration. All the end points claimed will be achieved in the short-term follow-up stage. The trial is defined as completion once short-term follow-up finished.

Long-term follow-up report will be submitted for future post market evaluation when requested by NMPA.

What participants receive

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

  • Proton Therapy System (ProBeam)Radiation

    All of subjects (tumor patients, including tumors of the nervous system, head and neck, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvic cavity, limbs and other tumors) will be treated with Proton radiation therapy using the medical device Varian ProBeam Proton Therapy System (ProBeam). The screening period from informed consent to enrollment is expected to be 4 weeks, while the treatment period is 1 to 8 weeks. The period after the last treatment is divided into short-term follow-up and long-term follow-up, in which short-term follow-up will be 3 months after the end of the last treatment. Total expected participation for each subject from screening to the completion of short-term follow-up is a maximum duration of 12 weeks + 3 months ( for this trial). Long-term follow-up continues after the end of short-term follow-up until the 5th year after the end of the last radiotherapy session.

Study groups in NCT05463055
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
single-arm objective performance criteriaExperimentalAccording to the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) Guidance on Proton and Carbon Ion treatment system clinical evaluation and clinical trial, the participants with disease control should be at least 95%. The primary safety endpoints is that participants with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 toxic reaction should be lower than 5%, CTCAE grade 4 and 5 toxic reaction rate is 0%. Therefore, the clinical trial did not have a control group, but using single-arm objective performance criteria.
Receives: Radiation: Proton Therapy System (ProBeam)

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control

    Disease control refers to partial response and stable disease and complete response. Percentage of participants with disease control should be at least 95%.

    Tumor disease control measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)/Computed Tomography (CT) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). CT or MRI changes will be assessed before and after treatment.

    Measured: 3 months ± 7 days after treatment completion, up to 24 weeks

  2. Percentage of Participants With Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 3 Toxic Reaction

    The percentage of participants with CTCAE grade 3 toxic reaction should be lower than 5%. Higher than 5% means worse outcome and will not be accepted.

    AEs occurred in the clinical trial are recorded and scored by the investigator according to CTCAE version 5.0.

    Measured: From enrollment to 3 months ± 7 days after treatment completion, up to 24 weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants With Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 4 and 5 Toxic Reaction

    The percentage of subjects with toxic reactions of levels 4 and 5 should be 0%. If CTCAE level 4 and 5 toxic reaction occured, the clinical trial is considered as failure.

    AEs occurred in the clinical trial are reported and scored by the investigator according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

    Measured: From enrollment to 3 months ± 7 days after treatment completion, up to 24 weeks
