Bone Marrow Sparing Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (RT) Incorporating Novel Use of GCSF and FDG-PET Imaging

April 3, 2025 updated by: Elizabeth Kidd, Stanford University

Phase 1-2 Study of Individualized Bone Marrow Sparing Image Guided Radiotherapy Incorporating Novel Use of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor and FDG PET Imaging

This is a research study using Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GCSF) as a bone marrow stimulating agent for imaging to guide radiation treatment planning. G-CSF is a type of growth factor. Growth factors are proteins made in the body. G-CSF is a type of growth factor that makes the bone marrow produce white blood cells to reduce the risk of infection after some types of cancer treatment. GCSF is being given to stimulate the bone marrow to identify the active (blood cell producing regions) to better spare during pelvic radiation treatment planning.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 1/2 study. The phase 1 is a dose finding portion of the study and phase 2 will enroll additional patients at the dose found in phase I. Patients in phase I and phase 2 will have the same treatment and follow-up.

Participants will undergo standard of care diagnostic imaging, complete blood count (CBC) with differential and chemistry labs initially. While receiving the GCSF, participants will have a CBC with differential checked a day after each dose and one day prior to first day of radiation. The treatment planning FDG PET/CT will be performed shortly after the GCSF. During chemoradiation, participants will have weekly CBC with differential checked and other labs as standard of care.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Achieving Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) Criteria
Time Frame: Up to 1 day after completing GCSF
RP2D will be defined as the dose at which the standard uptake value (SUV) on D5 FDG PET reaches a target SUVmean of 2.5 or higher, with normalization of white blood cells (WBC) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) prior to the start of radiation. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who meet these criteria.
Up to 1 day after completing GCSF
Number of Participants Experiencing Grade 3 or Greater Neutropenia (ANC < 1000/mm³)
Time Frame: Up to 7 weeks after starting treatment
Rate of grade 3 or greater neutropenia (ANC < 1000/mm³ at any point of therapy) was monitored using regular complete blood count (CBC) with differential.
Up to 7 weeks after starting treatment
