About this study

Official title: A Study of the Early-Phase Safety of Proton Therapy Equipment for Patients Suffering From Solid Cancers, and the Equipment's Operational Effectiveness.

The main purpose of this study is to collect the safety data of Sumitomo Heavy Industries' proton therapy equipment for the treatment of solid cancer patients in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, including the patients' early-stage adverse reactions and the efficacy on tumors, as well as to assess the operating functionality of the proton therapy system.

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to collect the safety data of Sumitomo Heavy Industries' proton therapy equipment for the treatment of solid cancer patients in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, including the patients' early-stage adverse reactions and the efficacy on tumors, as well as to assess the operating functionality of the proton therapy system.

In this study, solid cancer subjects will be treated with Sumitomo's proton therapy system. Safety and operating functionality data will be collected during the treatment and following-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate and Severity of Adverse Reactions

    After enrollment, each patient has to receive physical examination, laboratory tests, and image studies as baseline. During the course of radiotherapy, patients will have weekly evaluations in physicals and laboratory tests. Image studies are optional during treatment. In the follow-up periods, monthly exams, including regular physicals, markers in serum and urine and image studies to evaluation treatment responses, will be scheduled till 90 days after the end of treatment.

    Measured: Average 90 days after treatment.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of System Errors

    During treatment, the frequency of operation of the system error will be recorded and analyzed to see if the system can run smoothly.

    Measured: Average 100 days after treatment.

  2. Percentage of Each Target Lesion Evaluation Types.(1)Complete Response(2)Partial Response,(3)Progressive Disease,(4)Stable Disease,(5) Inevaluable

    Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors:(1)complete Response(CR),Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm (2)Partial Response(PR), At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. (3)Progressive Disease(PD), At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (4)Stable Disease(SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. (5) Inevaluable (NE), Inevaluable for response: specify reasons (for example: early death, malignant disease; toxicity; tumor assessments not repeated/incomplete; other (specify).

    Measured: Average 100 days after treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing proton therapy in people with Malignant Glioma and Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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 13 Jan 2017. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Dec 2015). 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?

Rate and Severity of Adverse Reactions (time frame: Average 90 days after treatment.). 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 Jan 2017.
