Trial summary

This is a prospective observational study aiming: 1) To quantify lung function using perfusion dual energy computed tomography (DECT) and use this information at the time of treatment planning with preferential sparing of functional lung parenchymal 2) to validate results of lung function obtained using DECT with lung… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PHASE I-II Study on the Use of Dual Energy Computed Tomography for Assessment of Lung Function in Thoracic Conventional and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

This is a prospective observational study aiming: 1) To quantify lung function using perfusion dual energy computed tomography (DECT) and use this information at the time of treatment planning with preferential sparing of functional lung parenchymal 2) to validate results of lung function obtained using DECT with lung perfusion scintigraphy results, the current standard method; 4) to compare dosimetry of whole lungs vs. functional lungs in patients treated with either stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage lung cancer or conventional radiotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer and 5) to evaluate lung function 6, 12 and 24 months post-radiotherapy with both perfusion DECT and pulmonary function tests and compare radiation dose-map to functional lung-map.

Being tested
Thoracic radiotherapy
Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Respiratory Insufficiency, Radiation Pneumonitis

What participants receive

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

  • Thoracic radiotherapyRadiation

    Patients will have pre-treatment and post-treatment perfusion DECT for baseline and post-treatment lung function

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung function quantification at baseline

    To quantify lung function using perfusion DECT and use this information at the time of treatment planning with preferential sparing of functional lung parenchyma.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Radiation-induced lung function damage quantification

    To evaluate lung function post-radiotherapy with both perfusion DECT and pulmonary function tests and compare radiation dose-map to functional lung-map.

    Measured: at 12 months after radiotherapy

  3. Radiation-induced lung function damage quantification

    To evaluate lung function post-radiotherapy with both perfusion DECT and pulmonary function tests and compare radiation dose-map to functional lung-map.

    Measured: at 24 months after radiotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Lung Function Decreased, run by Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) at 1 site in Canada.

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 8 inclusion and 4 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 16 Nov 2022. 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 Canada. 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?

Lung function quantification at baseline (time frame: Baseline). 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 16 Nov 2022.
