Data Collection for the Assessment of Acute and Late Normal Tissue in Patients Treated With Proton Therapy

Study Purpose

This study collects information on the side effects of proton therapy and detailed information on the proton therapy treatment plan itself. This may help researchers develop methods to predict the risk of side effects for future patients and learn the long-term benefit of proton therapy.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT00991094
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To prospectively collect data on acute and late toxicities (including second malignant neoplasms) in patients treated with proton therapy.

II. To collect and store the corresponding radiation dose distribution and imaging data in order to correlate normal tissue response with dose distribution.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To derive and refine dose-response relationships for normal tissue toxicity after proton therapy.

II. To document and compare symptom burden weekly during treatment and twice a month for 3 months after therapy, using the M.

D. Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI). OUTLINE: Patients undergoing standard of care proton therapy are assessed for toxicities weekly during proton treatment, then from 1 to 3 times up to 90 days from the start of treatment and annually thereafter. Patients also complete questionnaires over 15-20 minutes at baseline, weekly during treatment, and every 2 weeks during follow up for up to 3 months.
