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

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective multicenter non-randomized phase II study: proton therapy with nanoparticles based on polysiloxane and gadolinium chelates injectable intravenously in recurrent tumors

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient aged 18 or over
  • Patient with tumor of the cephalo-spino-iliosacral axis corresponding to the spectrum of tumors treated in protontherapy, particularly base of the skull, pharyngeal wall, parapharyngeal and retropharyngeal lymph nodes, cavum without associated lymph node, pre-spinal tumor, etc. tumors are immobile as opposed to visceral thoracic, abdominal and pelvic tumors which may be mobile which will be excluded because they cannot be irradiated in proton therapy in the current state of the art),
  • Tumor already irradiated, within more than 6 months before inclusion
  • Patient with a relapse or a new tumor in irradiated territory
  • Tumor considered to be radioresistant (TCD50> 50Gy)
  • Dosimetry (s) of previous irradiations available
  • Progressive tumor in tissue already irradiated to at least 40 Gy EQD2 (α / β = 2)
  • Indication of reirradiation by protontherapy for curative purposes. The indication for reirradiation by protontherapy will be discussed depending on the size and location of the tumor (particularlyfor a volume of less than or equal to 113 ml of PTV in an ENT situation may be taken into account), the presence of previous toxicities. It will be validated by RCP at the Center François Baclesse
  • The patient may have received previous systemic treatment
  • Evaluable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
  • Performance Status ≤ 2
  • Normal renal function: creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml / min
  • Patient affiliated to a social security system
  • Patient having given written consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Mobile tumors
  • Lymphomas, brain tumors (gliomas), meningiomas, skin carcinomas, malignant melanomas (skin or mucous membranes), tumor of the larynx, mobile lesions of the oral cavity
  • Recurrence occurring within 6 months of the end of the first irradiation
  • Patient with a contraindication to radiotherapy
  • Patient with progressive visceral or cerebral metastases
  • Life-threatening comorbidities within two years
  • Patient with a contraindication to MRI
  • Immovable metallic material in the target volume (significant imaging artefacts)
  • Impossibility of completely immobilizing the target volume (moving organ)
  • Large volume to be irradiated (PTV) for an acceptable benefit / risk balance evaluated in RCP of the François Baclesse Center
  • Neoplasic skin ulceration
  • Doses previously received by OARs or radiation toxicity already present preventing reirradiation including in protontherapy (clinical and dosimetric study of each case)
  • Concomitant cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy or other, underway or planned to be initiated during irradiation
  • Simultaneous participation in another therapeutic clinical trial
  • Patient deprived of liberty, under guardianship or curatorship
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding patient
  • Patient unable to undergo medical monitoring of the trial for geographic, social or psychopathological reasons
  • History of other malignant disease in the past 3 years, except skin cancer other than melanoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix. Any other solid tumor or lymphoma (without bone marrow involvement) must have been treated and not show signs of recurrence for at least 3 years

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Radiation by protontherapy associated to nanoparticles injection
Radiation: Radiation by protontherapy associated to nanoparticles injection

Treatment for the study will be based on proton therapy and the administration of AGuIX® nanoparticles.

Protontherapy will be carried out for 4 consecutive weeks with 5 sessions per week (20 sessions) from D1 to D26.

The administration of the AGuIX® nanoparticle will be done on Days 1, 8 and 15 during protontherapy

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
Local efficacy of a treatment combining the administration of nanoparticles with proton therapy
Time Frame: 2 years after the treatment
proportion of patients alive and without local progression two years after the start of proton therapy (local progression-free survival rate)
2 years after the treatment

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Estimated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
