Intensity-Modulated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Grade II-IV Glioma

Study Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well intensity-modulated stereotactic radiation therapy works in treating patients with grade II-IV glioma. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

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.

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.

 NCT03251027
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 determine the effect of intensity-modulated (IM)-stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) on the incidence of wound infection (requiring oral/intravenous [IV] antibiotics or surgery), or wound dehiscence.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  • I. To determine the effect of IM-SRT on the incidence of titanium implants as palpable cranial defects due to scalp thinning.
  • II. To determine the effect of IM-SRT on the incidence of hair loss and recovery rate.
  • III. To determine the effect on quality of life (QoL) using European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L).
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
  • I. To determine if treatment of Intensity-modulated stereotactic radiotherapy (IM-SRT) in patients with newly diagnosed grade II-IV gliomas can decrease the loss of scalp thickness in the coronal plane in T-1W magnetic resonance (MR) images.
