About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study to Evaluated the Clinical Implementation Value of an Optical Surface Monitoring System in the Radiotherapy Setup for Patients With Vulvar Cancer, Compared to Standard Laser-based Setup

This prospective study evaluated the clinical implementation value of an optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) in the radiotherapy setup for patients with vulvar cancer, compared to standard laser-based setup

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective single-centre trial to investigate the value of OSMS, and we hypothesized that using OSMS would reduce setup error in vulvar cancer treatment compared to a standard laser-based setup. A dose of 45 Gy was delivered to the clinical target volume with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for a total of 25 fractions, followed by 16 to 24 Gy of local electron beam supplementation. Marks were placed on each patient's skin to align the room lasers for presetup, and the setup was completed with information from the OSMS. The deviation values in three translation directions, lateral (Lat), longitudinal (Lng), and vertical (Vrt), and three rotation directions, Rtn (rotation along the z-axis), Pitch (rotation along the x-axis), and Roll (rotation along the y-axis) were obtained. The absolute values of setup error and error distribution of the standard laser-based setup and OSMS were compared.

What participants receive

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

  • optical surface monitoring systemDevice

    An optical surface monitoring system (OSMS) could achieve continuous monitoring of patient position through a nonradiographic and noninvasive technology, which has been widely applied to many sites of radiation therapy, including breast, intracranial, head and neck, abdomen, and extremities

Study groups in NCT05853549
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
optical surface monitoring system groupExperimentalEvery radiotherapy fraction from each patients with OSMS technology. Marks were placed on each patient's skin to align the room lasers for presetup, and the setup was completed with information from the OSMS. The deviation values of setup were obtained. The absolute values of setup error and error distribution of the standard laser-based setup and OSMS in the multi-directions were compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. The absolute values of setup error

    Marks were placed on each patient's skin to align the room lasers for presetup, and the setup was completed with information from the OSMS. The deviation values in multi-directions were obtained. The absolute values of setup error of the standard laser-based setup and OSMS in the above six directions were compared.

    Measured: Through study completion, total an average of eight month

  2. The distribution of setup error

    Marks were placed on each patient's skin to align the room lasers for presetup, and the setup was completed with information from the OSMS. The deviation values in multi-directions were obtained. The distribution of the standard laser-based setup and OSMS in the above six directions were compared.

    Measured: Through study completion, total an average of eight month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing optical surface monitoring system in people with Vulvar Cancer, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital 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 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 10 May 2023. 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.

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?

The absolute values of setup error (time frame: Through study completion, total an average of eight month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05853549, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 May 2023.
