Trial summary

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy is more effective in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Randomized Study of 2 Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Regimens for Medically Inoperable Patients With Node Negative, Peripheral Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known which regimen of radiation therapy is more effective in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of two radiation therapy regimens and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To compare the incidence of toxicity with two established stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) regimens in patients with node-negative, peripheral stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary

  • To compare quality of life, patterns of failure, disease-free survival, and overall survival of these patients after treatment with one of two established SBRT regimens.
  • To correlate outcomes and toxicities with imaging and patient and tumor biomarkers.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to Karnofsky performance status and treatment center. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo 1 high-dose fraction of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
  • Arm II: Patients undergo 3 high-dose fractions (approximately 1 week apart) of SBRT.

Quality of life is assessed periodically by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and -LC13 questionnaires

Blood and tissue samples may be collected periodically and examined for biomarkers via ELISA and immunoblotting.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of AE Grade 3 or Higher Toxicity

    Count of patients experiencing at least one grade 3 or higher adverse event. The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 is used for assessing the adverse events. High grades AEs are considered worse.

    Measured: 1year

  2. Overall Survival

    Median overall survival

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Correlation Between Blood and Serum Markers and Survival and Toxicity

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Arm 1 stereotactic body radiation therapy and Arm II stereotactic body radiation therapy in people with Lung Cancer, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 3 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jun 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of AE Grade 3 or Higher Toxicity (time frame: 1year). 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 15 Jun 2021.
