About this study

Official title: Randomized Comparison of Steretotactic Radiosurgery and Hypofractionated Steretotactic Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Vestibular Schwannoma

The purpose of this study is to determine whether stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT)are effective in the treatment of vestibular schwannoma (VS).

Read the detailed description

Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are slow-growing tumors of the myelin-forming cells that cover cranial nerve VIII.The treatment options for patients with VSs include active observation, surgical management, and radiotherapy. However, the optimal treatment choice remain controversial.

Over the past 10 years, there has been rapid progress in the application of stereotactic radiotherapy to the treatment of VSs. The stereotactic radiotherapy program includes single fraction radiosurgery (SRS) and hypofraction stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) are commonly used for VSs treatment. Since SRS and SRT techniques differ significantly enough to raise questions of therapeutic advantage and until now, there is no prospective, randomized study comparing the outcomes for patients treated using both radiotherapy techniques. We designed the first prospective randomized protocol to compare SRS and SRT for answer this question.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing stereotactic radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery in people with Vestibular Schwannoma, run by Ramathibodi Hospital.

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 3 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 10 Oct 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

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?

audiogram (time frame: two year). 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 10 Oct 2011.
