Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of the study is to assess efficacy of a short course radiation treatment in patients with symptomatic thoracic malignant lesions


Description:

Standard treatment for thoracic lesions (3000 cGy in 10 daily fractions of 300 cGy each) is compared with experimental treatment (2000 cGy in 4 fractions of 500 cGy twice a day) to demonstrate non-inferiority of this scheme

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Efficacy of palliation using the short course scheme compared with the standard scheme: Likert scale reduction of initial symptoms after radiotherapy, assessed with Likert scale (pain, bleeding, coughing, dysphagia, dyspnea, brachial plexopathy, lymphedema) 3 months
Secondary acute toxicity in the two treatment groups incidence of treatment-related acute adverse events in the two arms of the study registered using Cooperative Group Common Toxicity Criteria (RTOG) 3 months
Secondary late toxicity in the two treatment groups incidence of treatment-related adverse events in the two arms of the study registered using RTOG/European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Late Radiation Morbility Scoring Schema 12 months
Secondary Quality of Life (QoL) assessment in the two groups: EORTC questionnaire C15-PAL changes in QoL after the treatment assessed using EORTC questionnaire C15-PAL (a specific questionnaire from EORTC developed to assess the QoL of palliative cancer care patients) 12 months
