- Radiation: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
- Registration Number
- NCT06394258
- Lead Sponsor
- Fundacao Champalimaud
- Brief Summary
This phase I/II feasibility study of hypo-fractionated, image-guided Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to the vaginal cuff in intermedium and high risk endometrial cancer. The primary endpoints are SBRT feasibility and dosimetrical reproducibility to HDR brachytherapy, inter/intra-fractional target motion assessment and toxicity rates. Secondary endpoints are quality of life measures, local control, disease free survival and overall survival.
- Detailed Description
This phase I/II feasibility study of hypo-fractionated, image-guided Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to the vaginal cuff aims to reproduce adjuvant High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy dose distributions in patients operated for intermediate and high risk endometrial carcinoma. The study will employ devices to accurately reproduce pelvic anatomy and mitigate target motion and will make use of real-time on-line tracking. Eligible patients will receive three SBRT sessions to a prescription dose of 7 Gy to the vaginal cuff (with 4 to 7 days interval). SBRT will start within 4 to 8 weeks post-hysterectomy. The study will enroll a total of 30 patients. After treatment, patients will be followed-up at 3 months (+/- 6 weeks), at 6 (+/- 6 weeks) and every 6 months (+/- 6 weeks) thereafter for a total of 2 years. The duration of accrual in the study will be up to 3 years. Toxicity and outcome will be compared to published data on the standard modality of care (HDR brachytherapy). Patients' quality of life measures will be collected with validated questionnaires at the baseline and during follow up. Recurrence rates and survival data will be reported.

Group Intervention Description SBRT to the vaginal cuff Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) SBRT to the vaginal cuff
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reproducibility of vaginal cuff SBRT Accuracy of treatment delivery will be measured during the 15 minutes of treatment delivery time Anatomical accuracy will be confirmed with image guided (CBCT) and online tracking will guarantee a limit of 2mm threshold
Adverse Events through study completion, an average of 5 years Treatment related side effects based on CTCAE V3.0
Inter/intra fractional target motion during the 15 minutes of treatment delivery time 3D deviations recorded in CBCT images and electromagnetic recording
Dosimetric Feasibility of vaginal cuff SBRT through study completion, an average of 3 year Fulfillment of protocol dosimetrical endpoints and constraints; physician assessment of complications (CTCAE V3.0) at specific time points during follow up (2 weeks, 3 and 6 months, then every 6 months until the end of the 3rd year, then annually until the end of the 5th year)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Distant Relapse through study completion, an average of 5 years Free from distant relapse
Quality of life metrics through study completion, an average of 5 years scoring more than 12 points in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
Local control through study completion, an average of 5 years Free from loco-regional relapse
