Trial summary

Vertebral metastases are events that affect the quality of life of tumor patients, and are often accompanied by severe pain at the site of metastasis and even by the risk of compression fracture. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: SBRT Versus Conventional Fractionated Radiotherapy for Vertebral Metastases From Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, an Open, Randomized Phase II Study

Vertebral metastases are events that affect the quality of life of tumor patients, and are often accompanied by severe pain at the site of metastasis and even by the risk of compression fracture. For vertebral metastases who are not yet at risk of vertebral instability fracture, a moderate dose (30Gy/10F) external radiation therapy is the most widely used treatment technique. Previous studies have shown that 60-80% of patients could achieve pain relief with moderate doses of radiation therapy, with median pain control duration of approximately 4 months. Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is currently the most advanced radiation therapy technique. This project proposes to treat vertebral metastases from non-small cell lung cancer using SBRT technology on the True Beam radiotherapy system to compare its efficacy with conventional external irradiation technology in terms of pain relief as well as local control.

Vertebral metastases are events that affect the quality of life of tumor patients, and are often accompanied by severe pain at the site of metastasis and even by the risk of compression fracture. For vertebral metastases who are not yet at risk of vertebral instability fracture, a moderate dose (30Gy/10F) external radiation therapy is the most widely used treatment technique. Previous studies have shown that 60-80% of patients could achieve pain relief with moderate doses of radiation therapy, with median pain control duration of approximately 4 months.

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is currently the most advanced radiation therapy technique. It enables focused radiation therapy with small fields through stereotactic techniques. In June 2021, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University introduced the True Beam radiotherapy system, which has a higher treatment rate compared to conventional radiotherapy equipment, while It is the most reliable vehicle to achieve SBRT.

Therefore, this project proposes to treat vertebral metastases from non-small cell lung cancer using SBRT technology on the True Beam radiotherapy system to compare its efficacy with conventional external irradiation technology in terms of pain relief as well as local control.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Metastatic vertebrae treated with SBRT in people with NSCLC, run by Wuhan University.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jing Yu, Dr (02767812539 ext. 86, yujingrt@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete pain relief rate (time frame: 3 months). 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 Oct 2022.
