About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study On The Feasibility Of High Dose Three Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy In Patients With Inoperable And Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Using computer systems that create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor to plan treatment may enable doctors to provide more effective radiation therapy that will cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of high-dose 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy in treating patients with inoperable stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the optimal dose of high-dose 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in patients with inoperable stage I, II, or IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who are treated according to the total lung volume irradiated.
  • Determine the feasibility of this regimen, in terms of local control rates and incidence of distant metastases, in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 strata according to the total lung volume irradiated (less than 25% vs 25-37% vs over 37%).

  • Stratum I: Patients undergo high-dose 3-dimensional (3-D) conformal radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks.
  • Stratum II: Patients undergo high-dose 3-D conformal radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5.5-7 weeks.
  • Stratum III: Patients undergo high-dose 3-D conformal radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5.5-6.5 weeks.

Cohorts of 6-15 patients in each stratum receive escalating dose intensities of high-dose 3-D conformal radiotherapy (either by increasing the total dose or by shortening treatment time) until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 2 of 6, 2 of 15, or 3 of 30 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 1 month, at least every 2 months for 1 year, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 54-135 patients (18-45 per stratum) will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose as measured by NCI-CTC v2.0 during treatment and up to 6 months after completion of radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Late toxicity measured every 2 months in year 1, then every 3 months in year 2, and then every 6 months thereafter

  2. Disease progression measured every 2 months in year 1, then every 3 months in year 2, and then every 6 months thereafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 7 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, France, Switzerland. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose as measured by NCI-CTC v2.0 during treatment and up to 6 months after completion of radiotherapy. 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 24 Sep 2012.
