Trial summary

As one of the few centers, MAASTRO also aggressively re-treats patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Even after primary radical treatment to high doses, re-irradiation (with concurrent chemotherapy) is also given in curative intent, thus again using high doses of radiation.

About this study

Official title: Radical Re-irradiation of Recurrent NSCLC - Analysis of Outcome and Toxicity.

As one of the few centers, MAASTRO also aggressively re-treats patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Even after primary radical treatment to high doses, re-irradiation (with concurrent chemotherapy) is also given in curative intent, thus again using high doses of radiation.

Publications on high-dose re-irradiation of lung cancer patients are scarce, and outcome and toxicity for patients treated in MAASTRO are unknown at present. This study will provide knowledge on benefit and risks of such a therapeutic approach.

Read the detailed description

MAASTRO clinic is a leader in the (individual) management of patients with lung cancer. This has resulted in major publications in the past on individualized (chemo)radiotherapy for (NSCLC) [van Baardwijk 2006 and 2010]. As one of the few centers, MAASTRO also aggressively re-treats patients with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Even after primary radical treatment to high doses, re-irradiation is also given in curative intent, thus again using high doses of radiation.

Publications on this topic are rare. Most reports address the results of palliative re-irradiation of NSCLC [Ebara 2007, Jackson 1987, Montebello 1993, Tada 2005]. The ones available on re-irradiation with curative intent used outdated techniques [Okamoto 2002, Wu 2003]. Only one recent publication has analyzed the results of 37 NSCLC patients of whom 9 were re-irradiated with at least 50 Gy using helical tomotherapy [Kruser in press].

The results of radical re-irradiation applying highly conformal radiation techniques within MAASTRO are unknown. This study will provide knowledge on benefit and risks of such a therapeutic approach. Furthermore, it may provide enough evidence to initiate a Phase II/III clinical trial for re-irradiation of NSCLC patients with curative intent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Measuring survival by checking if patients are alive.

    Measured: 1 year after radiotherapy

  2. Locoregional control

    Measuring locoregional control by checking pt for progression

    Measured: 1 year after radiotherapy

  3. Progression-free survival

    Checking patients for progression

    Measured: 1 year after radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pulmonary toxicity

    Checking patients for pulmonary adverse events

    Measured: 1 year after radiotherapy

  2. Oesophageal toxicity

    Checking patients for oesophageal adverse events

    Measured: 1 year after radiotherapy

  3. Other dose-limiting or burdensome toxicity

    Checking patients fortoxicity which causes problems with regard to radiotherapy-dose or is otherwise burdensome

    Measured: 1 year after radiotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Maastricht Radiation Oncology at 1 site in Netherlands.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Mar 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Overall survival (time frame: 1 year after radiotherapy). 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 22 Mar 2016.
