About this study

Official title: Neoadjuvant Radiotherapy of Soft Tissue Sarcomas of Limbs and Trunk : Interest of Multiparametric Quantitative MRI for Response Assessment and Per-treatment Progression Prediction

This trial is a prospective, monocentric, with minimal risks and constraints study, conducted in patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) of the limbs and trunk with indication for neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT).

Patients will be treated by neoadjuvant RT and will have a pre-RT and a post-RT multiparametric quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

A tumor resection will be performed 6 to 8 weeks post-RT and an anatomopathological observation of the surgical specimen will be performed.

This study will allow to describe the initial remnographic characteristics and their evolution after neoadjuvant RT using quantitative multiparametric MRI (mpMRI).

Read the detailed description

This study is prospective, monocentric and with minimal risks and constraints.

Patients with STS of the limbs and trunk will be accrued during the initial radiotherapy consultation radiotherapy (prior to receiving radiotherapy).

Two quantitative multiparametric MRI will be performed. The first one will be acquired less than 14 days before the dosimetric scan, the second one 4 to 6 weeks after the end of the radiotherapy.

This study will allow to describe the initial remnographic characteristics and their evolution after neoadjuvant RT using quantitative multiparametric MRI.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Patients will be systematically recruited from December 2022 to August 2023, i.e. a potential of approximately 20-30 patients.

Analysis conventions:

Categorical variables will be expressed as numbers and percentages, and continuous variables as median (minimum-maximum). The normality of the distributions of the quantitative MRI data will be assessed by a Shapiro-Wilk test. A p-value <0.05 will be considered significant with two-tailed tests. No imputation will be performed in case of missing data. Statistical analyses will be performed using R software (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria).

Analysis of the primary endpoint:

The remnographic parameters observed pre- and post-radiotherapy will be described, both qualitatively in T1 weighting, T2 with and without fat saturation, T1 with gadolinium injection, and quantitatively in Chemical Shift-Encoded (CSE) MRI sequence, T2 mapping and multi-echo gradient diffusion.

Analysis of secondary endpoints:

The clinico-remnographic data of the groups with and without complete pathological response will be compared using Student's t test, Wilcoxon test, Chi2 test or Fisher's exact test when appropriate.

ROC curves will be generated to assess the performance of the remnographic parameters in predicting pathological complete response as well as in predicting per-treatment progression via the use of the area under the Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). The Youden index will be used to identify the optimal threshold.

Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions will be performed to assess the clinico-remnographic parameters predictive of complete pathological response as well as those predictive of per-treatment progression.

A Student's t test or a Wilcoxon test will be performed to evaluate the correlation between pre-radiotherapy remnographic parameters and the percentage of variation in tumour volume during treatment, as well as between pre-operative remnographic parameters and the percentage of necrosis on anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen.

DATA ENTRY, DATA MANAGEMENT AND STUDY MONITORING

Data generated within the framework of the study will be entered, for each patient, by the investigator of the centre (or a person designated by delegation) on an Excel file in a secure location on the internal network of the Centre Léon Bérard.

Only New Safety Issues occurring in the course of the study will be reported. A New Safety Issue is defined as any new data that could lead to reevaluate the ratio between the benefits and the risks of the research, or that could be sufficiently important to consider modifications of the research documents, the research management or, to suspend, to interrupt or to modify the protocol of the research or of similar researches. The Sponsor should report without delay any New Safety Issue, as well as any safety measures to be proposed, discussed with the principal investigator, to the Ethics Committee and the principal investigators. Relevant follow-up information will be provided within a further 8 days.

The sponsor will assist the investigator in the conduct of the study in accordance with the study protocol, Good Clinical Practice and the regulations in force.

At regular intervals during the study, a representative of the coordinating centre may contact the investigating team in order to control the progress of the project, investigator and patient compliance with the protocol and to identify any potential problem in the study.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Benoît ALLIGNET, MD (+33 4 78 78 59 06, benoit.allignet@lyon.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum axial dimension (time frame: Pre-radiotherapy mpMRI performed within 14 days before the dosimetric scan. Post-radiotherapy mpMRI performed 4 to 6 weeks after radiation therapy completion.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
