A Pilot Study of Single Fraction Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in Central Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT05138900)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Roswell Park Cancer Institute

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to determine if a single treatment of targeted radiation (called SBRT or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) can be as safe and effective as multiple doses of radiation in patients with central non-small cell lung cancer

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (8 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (11 items).

Location: Roswell Park Cancer Institute — Buffalo, New York

Age range: 18 Years

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Contraindication to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (including the inability to cooperate with any aspect of SBRT such as the inability to lie still and breathe reproducibly)
  • Prior radiation to the volume of lung or mediastinum currently involved by tumor
  • Plan for the patient to receive other concomitant antineoplastic therapy (including standard fractionated radiation, chemotherapy, biological therapy, vaccine therapy, and surgery) while on this protocol, except at disease progression
  • Received an investigational agent within 30 days prior to enrollment
  • Participants who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Participants with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant or nursing female participants.
  • Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements.
  • Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion deems the participant an unsuitable candidate to receive SBRT
