Filter by:The purpose of this study is to improve healthcare received by people ≥ 65 years who are receiving radiation therapy (RT). The study will primarily examine patients ability to complete RT, changes in a patients' daily function and self-reported toxicities. To collect this information, study participants will be asked to complete surveys and physical and cognitive function assessments at five different timepoints in their treatment: before RT, End of RT, and at 1, 3, and 6 months follow up visits. Findings of this study will help radiation oncologists make more informed decisions for future patients receiving RT.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using the Hyivy device as a non-hormonal therapy in post-radiation patients with pelvic malignancies
To investigate, whether multi-fraction stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) within 3 treatment fractions is non-inferior to the current standard of care of 5 fraction SBRT regarding pain response at 3 months after radiotherapy.
To determine if the experimental approach of early radiation oncology involvement alongside standard oncologic care will result in higher HRQL at 6 months compared to the control arm receiving standard oncologic care alone, based on the global subscale score of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
Currently, there are no approved medications for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced dermatitis, or skin discoloration/burning due to radiation therapy, because there is little evidence to guide treatment. The purpose of the research is to better understand the factors associated with radiation-induced dermatitis and to explore the efficacy of low-dose colchicine in reducing the proportion of patients with radiation-induced dermatitis who undergo radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. If you take part in the research, you will be asked to take 0.6 mg once a day by mouth. The participants time in the study will take less than a minute a day to take the pill and 20 minutes to complete survey questions during follow-up visits.
The goal of treating metastases is to preserve stability and neurological function while reducing pain. The actual standard of care is stereotaxic body radiation therapy (SBRT) alone in non-surgical patients. The added value of vertebroplasty to SBRT is not well documented in the literature, nor whether performing vertebroplasty before radiotherapy treatment leads to a reduction in the rate of fractures and post-SBRT pain.
The study is an open label, multi-centre, randomized phase III study. The patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to treatment consisting of - Arm A: MD-SBRT in addition to standard treatment - Arm B: Standard treatment Study population: Patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) with oligometastatic disease detected by PSMA-PET/DT. This includes patients with de novo oligometastatic HSPC and recurrent HSPC after primary RT or prostatectomy. Primary endpoint: Failure free survival Secondary endpoints: - Predictive value of investigated biomarkers in blood and imaging - Acute and late toxicity after MD-SBRT - PROM at 3 months, 1, 3 and 5 years - Castration resistant prostate cancer, CRPC - Overall survival - Differences in outcome between patients by strata Stratification: To avoid imbalance between treatment arms the minimisation method will be used to achieve balance between de novo oligo-metastatic and oligo-recurrent patients, as well as treatment site. Safety evaluation: Adverse events and side effects graded according to CTCAE v5.0 will be collected every 6th month. Serious Adverse Events are to be reported within 24 hours throughout the study duration. Statistical methods: Survival endpoints will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method with differences compared using the stratified log-rank test. Randomization time is set as baseline time. Pre-planned subgroup analysis will occur based on pre-specified stratification variables. A Cox multivariable regression model will be used to determine factors predictive of survival. Safety analysis will be performed with Mann-Whitney U-test or Fishers exact test. Criteria for evaluation: Per protocol (patients that have started study treatment) and Intention to treat (all included patients). Planned sample size: 118 patients Analysis plan: The primary end point will be analysed after pre-specified number of events have occurred. All patients randomised to SBRT will be followed minimum 60 months for toxicity. Safety analysis of acute toxicity will take place after median follow up of 6 months. Safety analysis of late toxicity will be analysed after study closure. Duration of the study: Three to five years inclusion. 72 months of follow-up after randomization of the last patient.
A pre- operative evaluation for the presence of intermediate risk factors prior to surgery may allow for better patient counselling, modify the course of surgery or select patients to undergo primary chemo- radiation. The purpose of this study is to validate that the presence of histological risk factors in a pre-operative large loop biopsy highly correlates with post-operative histological evaluation and the subsequent indication for post-operative chemo-radiation
study the effect of radiotherapy to the primary lesion after first line systemic therapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and 2-year local control rate for postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
