The quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) is the outcome measure of choice in England and Wales for National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). To be able to conduct a cost utility analysis, QALY data is required. This can either be collected within trial or published data can be used. In the United Kingdom (UK) there is no up to date QALY data for women with early breast cancer treated with surgery followed by radiotherapy. The OSTaRa Study aims to provide up to date QALY data for women in this cohort.
RAISE is a multicenter randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy for controlling postsurgical recurrence in HCC patients with narrow margin (≤ 1 cm) after curative resection.
T2* imaging is a method to identify labile iron pools in tumor cells. These iron pools may be linked to better treatment outcomes for specific types of therapy. This is a small pilot study to see if radiation therapy changes the amount of iron in a sarcoma tumor.
In initially metastatic rectal carcinoma, a neo-adjuvant multi-drug chemotherapy is usually performed, followed by a pelvic chemoradiation. The surgical indications on both metastases and the pelvic site are then discussed: in the case where a complete (or near-complete) response (CR) of the rectal tumor is observed (10 to 40%), the local surgery may be omitted or poned ("wait-and-see") in a sphincter-sparing strategy, in order to minimize or avoid the surgical morbidity, to focus on metastatic disease by the continuation of chemotherapy, and to preserve a better quality of life. After 8 weeks of induction chemotherapy (mFolfox6 regimen, 4 cycles), the aim of our study is to optimize the chemoradiation step on the distal rectal tumor, thanks to Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) (Phase-1 part of the study), concomitantly with oral capecitabine. According to a Fibonacci dose-escalation scheme, 3 radiation dose-levels are defined, up to the definition of the maximal tolerated dose (MTD), requiring the inclusion of a maximum of 20 patients. Further patients will be included at the recommended dose for phase-2 (RDP2) in a two-step phase-2 study, considering simultaneously as principal objective at 12 months, both the efficacy (local CR rate in the range of 10 to 25%) and the tolerance (pelvic radiation disease: grade 3-4 toxicities in the range of 30 to 10%). Overall 65 patients will be included in the phase-2 study at the RDP2 dose.
Interventional study without medicinal, randomized 1: 1 open-label, multicenter, phase 3 to evaluate the response in terms of reduction of pain symptomatology from bone metastases, comparing the conformational radiotherapy (3D-CRT) administered in conventional fractionation vs. extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) administered with concomitant integrated simultaneous boost (Simultaneous Integrated Boost-SIB)
The 1100 study is an open-label, Phase I, dose escalation and expansion prospective clinical study to assess the safety of intratumoral injection of NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy.
Non-randomized, monocentric, observational study to evaluate the response in terms of reduction of painful symptoms from bone metastases to radiotherapy with high personalization of treatment: performed with modern technology, supplied with modulated intensity technique with concomitant integrated boost, according to selection of patients in accordance with prognosis determined by specific prognostic score
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has shown organ-protective effects in many clinical settings including patients with ischemic heart disease. However its protective role in head and neck cancer patients with preoperative radiotherapy undergoing free flap reconstructive surgery has not yet been evaluated. The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the effect of RIPC on tissue oxygen saturation and skin temperature of the flap.
Aim of the study is to assess efficacy of a short course radiation treatment in patients with symptomatic brain metastases from solid tumors
