About this study

The aim of the present registry is to prospectively collect data on patients treated with protontherapy in order to improve knowledge on indication, feasibility, and clinical results of hypofractionated schedules applied in the setting of patients.

Read the detailed description

Paucity and low evidence level data on protontherapy (PT) represent one of the main issues for the establishment of solid indications in the PT setting. Aim of the present registry is to provide a tool for systematic, prospective, harmonized, and multidimensional high-quality data collection to promote knowledge in the field of PT with a particular focus on the use of hypofractionation.

All patients with any type of oncologic disease (benign and malignant disease) who will be eligible for PT at the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), will be included in the present registry. Three levels of data collection will be implemented: Level 1 clinical research (patients outcome and toxicity, quality of life, and cost/effectiveness analysis); Level 2 radiological research (radiomic and dosiomic analysis, as well as biological modeling); Level 3 Biological and Translational research (biological biomarkers and genomic data analysis).

Endpoints and outcome measures of hypofractionation schedules will be evaluated in terms of either Treatment Efficacy (tumor response rate, time to progression/percentages of survivors/median survival, clinical, biological, and radiological biomarkers changes, identified as surrogate endpoints of cancer survival/response to treatment) and Toxicity.

The study protocol has been approved by the IEO ethical committee (IEO 1885). Other than patients treated at IEO, additional PT facilities (equipped with IBA Proteus®ONE or Proteus®PLUS technologies) are planned to join the registry data collection. Moreover, the registry will be also fully integrated into international PT data collection networks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Efficacy: tumor response rate

    tumor response rate according to RECIST criteria

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Treatment Efficacy: % of tumor recurrence

    % of tumor recurrence assessed by progression-free survival rate

    Measured: 10 years

  3. Treatment Efficacy: rate of death

    rate of death assessed by overall survival rates

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Treatment Toxicity: incidence of acute and late toxicity

    incidence of acute and late toxicity collected according to CTCAE v. 6.0

    Measured: 10 years

  2. Treatment Toxicity: patients quality of life

    patients quality of life assessed by internationally validated EORTC questionnaires

    Measured: 10 years

  3. Treatment Toxicity: patients pain

    patients pain assessed by Visual Analog Score

    Measured: 10 years

  4. Treatment Toxicity: treatment costs

    treatment costs assessed with quality adjusted life years (QALY)

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by European Institute of Oncology at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 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 Italy. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Roberto Orecchia, Prof (+39 0257489578, roberto.orecchia@ieo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment Efficacy: tumor response rate (time frame: 10 years). The study lists 3 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 18 Jun 2024.
