Trial summary

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving stereotactic radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Radio-Surgical Approach for the Treatment of Kidney Tumors

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving stereotactic radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic radiation therapy in treating patients with kidney tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of radiation in patients undergoing stereotactic radiotherapy for renal tumors.
  • Determine radiotherapy-associated toxicity in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine preoperative pathologic response to this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of radiotherapy.

  • Radiotherapy: Patients undergo stereotactic radiotherapy to 1 tumor. Cohorts of 4-8 patients receive escalating doses of radiotherapy twice daily for 2 days until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or upper limit is reached. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 4 or 3 of 8 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). DLT is assessed at 4 and 8 weeks after radiotherapy.
  • Surgery: Two months after completion of radiotherapy, patients undergo preoperative assessment of tumor response followed by partial nephrectomy.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for at least 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

  • conventional surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Two months after completion of radiotherapy, patients undergo preoperative assessment of tumor response followed by partial nephrectomy.

  • stereotactic radiosurgeryRadiation

    Patients undergo stereotactic radiotherapy to 1 tumor. Cohorts of 4-8 patients receive escalating doses of radiotherapy twice daily for 2 days until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or upper limit is reached.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose of radiation

    Measured: DLT is assessed at 4 and 8 weeks after radiotherapy

  2. Radiotherapy-associated toxicity

    Measured: DLT is assessed at 4 and 8 weeks after radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disease-free survival

    Measured: follow-up will be done at 1 month, 6 12, 18 and 24 months post surgery

  2. Time to local progression

    Measured: follow-up will be done at 1 month, 6 12, 18 and 24 months post surgery

  3. Time to distant failure

    Measured: follow-up will be done at 1 month, 6 12, 18 and 24 months post surgery

  4. Survival

    Measured: follow-up will be done at 1 month, 6 12, 18 and 24 months post surgery

  5. Disease-specific survival

    Measured: follow-up will be done at 1 month, 6 12, 18 and 24 months post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing conventional surgery and stereotactic radiosurgery in people with Kidney Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2012. 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 United States. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 of radiation (time frame: DLT is assessed at 4 and 8 weeks after radiotherapy). 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?
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 20 Mar 2012.
