About this study

Official title: MR-PET Guided Biologically Optimised Interstitial Brachytherapy for Postoperative Recurrent Cervical Cancers

The proposed two stage study will evaluate patterns of local recurrence after EBRT and brachytherapy in spatial reference to baseline functional MRI and FLT/F-Miso PET scan in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for postoperative recurrences of cervical cancer. The first stage of the study will focus on developing MR guided interstitial brachytherapy and validating the concept of high risk gross tumor volume (on the basis of functional imaging features).

The second stage thereafter will focus on developing biologically modulated interstitial brachytherapy.

In the proposed two staged study the investigators intend to prospectively evaluate and validate concept of HRGTV and develop technique of biologically dose modulated brachytherapy. The demonstration of technical feasibility and clinical safety of biologically modulated image guided radiotherapy in this pilot study for may pave the way for improving local control in patients with postoperative recurrences.

Aims

Stage I

Aim 1: To spatially characterize biologically heterogenous subvolumes within the gross tumor through multimodality (18 F-Miso/FLT/Functional MR) image fusion.

Aim 2: To evaluate post external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) response in spatial reference to biological heterogeneous sub-volumes on imaging.

Stage II:

Aim 3: To evaluate technical feasibility of delivering dose modulated biologically optimized interstitial brachytherapy.

Aim 4: To evaluate acute and late toxicity and quality of life associated with biologically optimized brachytherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Local Response in spatial reference to High Risk GTV (as identified by functional imaging)

    Measured: 3 months after treatment completion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Grade III rectal and bladder toxicity with biologically dose modulated brachytherapy

    Stage II involves dose modulated brachytherapy wherein higher dose will be delivered to biologically high risk target volume. Saftey will be assessed initially by an interim analysis undertaken at 50 % accrual(median follow up 1 yr). If incidence of grade III-IV rectal and bladder toxicity >15% than the trial will be stopped else continued till target accrual. The technique will be considered to be safe if Grade III bladder and bowel toxicity remain to be under 15%.

    Measured: 2 years after treatment conclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MR PET Guided Brachytherapy in people with Cervical Cancer, run by Tata Memorial Hospital at 1 site in India.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 7 Apr 2020. 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 India. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Local Response in spatial reference to High Risk GTV (as identified by functional imaging) (time frame: 3 months after treatment completion). 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 NCT01391065, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Apr 2020.
