Trial summary

Locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer can be treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiation. However, the cure rate is low. This study is carried out to find out whether giving radiotherapy at a higher dose over fewer treatment sessions with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can improve the treatment… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study on Dose Escalated, Accelerated Hypofractionated Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Concurrent Chemotherapy

Locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer can be treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiation. However, the cure rate is low.

This study is carried out to find out whether giving radiotherapy at a higher dose over fewer treatment sessions with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can improve the treatment outcome.

This study aims to recruit 43 patients from National University Hospital and Tan Tock Seng Hospital over a period of about 2 years.

Being tested
Dose escalated, accelerated, hypofractionated radiotherapy
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dose escalated, accelerated, hypofractionated radiotherapy in people with Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 3 sites in Singapore.

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 1 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2009. 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 Singapore. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ivan Tham, MD (6567724870, ivan_wk_tham@nuh.com.sg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival (time frame: 2 years). 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 13 Jul 2009.
