Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy (ART) in head and neck cancer patients are comparable to historical controls in head and neck patients undergoing standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) without ART. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Non-Inferiority Trial of the Use of Adaptive Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer Undergoing Radiation Therapy

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy (ART) in head and neck cancer patients are comparable to historical controls in head and neck patients undergoing standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) without ART.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adaptive RadiotherapyRadiation

    Also called ART

    ART involved modification of the radiation treatment plan during treatment course to account for temporal variations in anatomy due to changes in tumor volume and/or patients' weight loss.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Adaptive RadiotherapyExperimentalEligible patients will receive IMRT of 60-70Gy in 30-35 once-daily fractions with or without concurrent chemotherapy according to the current standard of care.
Receives: Radiation: Adaptive Radiotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with locoregional recurrence-free interval

    This is assessed by imaging studies and/or physical exams at follow- up visits. This will include a diagnostic FDG PET/CT scan. CT and/or MRI of the primary site and neck will also be recommended. Patients will be classified as locoregional recurrence-free as long as there is no evidence of locoregional recurrence of disease by clinical evaluation, CT, MRI, and/or PET-CT according to the standard of care. For patients achieving complete response of disease, no further imaging study is necessary.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Adaptive Radiotherapy in people with Head and Neck Cancer and Paranasal Sinus Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 8 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 26 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. 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?

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?

Number of patients with locoregional recurrence-free interval (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 26 Oct 2021.
