Trial summary

Radical radiotherapy is the main treatment of locally advanced lung cancer, and radiation pneumonia is the main toxic effects of radiotherapy. Among them, the fatality rate of severe radiation pneumonia can reach 50%, which is very harmful to tumor patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Phase II Study of the Incidence and Safety of Radiation Pneumonia in Patients With Locally Advanced NSCLC Treated With Beclomethasone Propionate Inhaled During Radical Radiotherapy Compared With Conventional Radiotherapy

Radical radiotherapy is the main treatment of locally advanced lung cancer, and radiation pneumonia is the main toxic effects of radiotherapy. Among them, the fatality rate of severe radiation pneumonia can reach 50%, which is very harmful to tumor patients. At present, the treatment mode of radiation pneumonia is very few, and the therapeutic effect is poor. The prevention of radiation pneumonitis may be the best way to reduce the number of patients with Post-radiotherapy pneumonia. Previous small clinical studies have shown that the incidence of radiation pneumonia in inhaled beclomethasone group (2 /28) was significantly lower than that in oral prednisone group (8 /29) during radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy between the therapeutic group (inhaled beclomethasone during radiotherapy) and the control radiotherapy group (patients received radiotherapy only), especially the incidence of radiation-induced pneumonia within half a year.

Read the detailed description

To compare the incidence of radiation pneumonia, effect and side effects of radiotherapy in lung between beclomethasone inhalation therapeutic group and control radiotherapy group in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during radiotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Beclomethasone propionateDrug

    Beclomethasone propionate inhaled twice daily during radiotherapy

Study groups in NCT03886441
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prevention groupExperimentalParticipants inhaled beclomethasone propionate aerosol daily during chest radical radiotherapy (total dose 60GY).
Receives: Drug: Beclomethasone propionate
Traditional therapy groupNo interventionParticipants were not given daily inhalation of beclomethasone propionate when undergoing radical chest radiotherapy (total dose 60GY).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of radiation pneumonia between two groups of patients

    To evaluate the incidence of radiation pneumonia in 36weeks since thoracic irradiation between two groups of patients

    Measured: Chest CT assessment every 6 weeks since thoracic irradiation, up to 36 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Objective Response Rate between two groups of patients

    To evaluate Objective response rate every 6weeks since thoracic irradiation.

    Measured: tumor assessment every 6 weeks since thoracic irradiation , up to 36 weeks.

  2. Side effects between two groups of patients

    To evaluated in the 36 weeks since the thoracic irradiation began according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0

    Measured: 36 weeks .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Beclomethasone propionate in people with Locally Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Tongji University at 1 site in China.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Mar 2019. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact caicun zhou, phD MD (8621-65115006-3050, caicunzhoudr@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of radiation pneumonia between two groups of patients (time frame: Chest CT assessment every 6 weeks since thoracic irradiation, up to 36 weeks.). 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 Mar 2019.
