About this study
Official title: Impact of Partial Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Hypoxic Segments of Large-volume Unresectable Tumors (SBRT-LATTICE-PATHY) - a Prospective Phase II Study.
To assess the importance of using SBRT-LATTICE-PATHY for the radiotherapy treatment of large tumors that would be considered intractable by currently used standard techniques. In this present study, the investigators will have the possibility of combining SBRT and LATTICE techniques, incorporating the concept of hypoxic tissue irradiation, which are potential modulators of abscopal and bystander effects, performing partial punctual treatment in the vertex region, without the need for irradiation of the entire tissue volume, further improving safety in relation to possible toxicities.

SBRT-LATTICE-PATHYRadiation
SBRT-LATTICE-PATHY, a single dose of 24Gy in intratumoral vertices located in hypoxic regions.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Rate of local control at 12 months
Percentage of participants achieving local control, defined as absence of local tumor progression assessed by imaging (CT).
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
Tumor volume shrinkage at 12 months
Percentage reduction in gross tumor volume (GTV) measured by CT at 12 months compared to baseline, calculated as [(baseline volume - follow-up volume) / baseline volume] × 100.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months
Secondary outcomes (5)
12-month overall survival rate
Percentage of participants alive at 12 months after treatment initiation. Overall survival is defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause.
Measured: 12 months overall survival
12-month progression-free survival rate
Percentage of participants alive and without disease progression at 12 months after treatment initiation. Progression is assessed by CT imaging. Time is measured from enrollment to the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Measured: 12 months Progression Free Survival
Rate of acute adverse events assessed by CTCAE v 5.0
Incidence and severity of acute adverse events assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0). Reported as the percentage of participants experiencing grade ≥1 adverse events. Assessed at 15 days, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment initiation.
Measured: 15 days, 1 month and 3 months after treatment initiation
Rate of late adverse events assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Incidence and severity of late adverse events assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0). Reported as the percentage of participants experiencing grade ≥1 adverse events. Assessed at 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment completion.
Measured: 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment completion
Mean EORTC QLC-C30 Global Health Status / Quality of Life Score)
Quality of life assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The Global Health Status/QoL subscale is scored from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better quality of life. Assessed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after treatment.
Measured: Impact in quality of life in 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after treatment completion

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing SBRT-LATTICE-PATHY in people with Cancer (Advanced Stage) and Cancer (Solid Tumors), run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.
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 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2026. 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 Brazil. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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 Principal Investigator (551126616722, heloisa.carvalho@hc.fm.usp.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of local control at 12 months (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07645261, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 12 Jun 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
