A Study on Predictive Models and Clinical Outcome of Radiation Pneumonitis

October 5, 2022 updated by: Xianglin Yuan, Huazhong University of Science and Technology

A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study on Predictive Models and Clinical Outcome of Radiation Pneumonitis

Radiation pneumonitis is the main dose-limiting toxicity of thoracic radiotherapy, which can affect life quality, survival, and the tumor-controlling effects of patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to:

  • Identify biomarkers including serum proteins, gene expression, genetic changes, and epigenetic modifications that determine radiation pneumonitis.
  • Investigate the relationship between radiation pneumonitis and other toxicities induced by radiotherapy.
  • Construct a predictive model for radiation pneumonitis.
  • Evaluate survival and treatment outcome of patients with radiation pneumonitis.

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

  1. Collect clinical information, CT images, and peripheral blood of the lung cancer patients treated with thoracic radiotherapy in Tongji Hospital, Hubei Cancer Hospital, and Jingjiang People's Hospital.
  2. Follow up the enrolled patients. All patients enrolled in this study are examined during and one month after radiotherapy. Then, the patients are followed every three months for the first year and every six months thereafter. At each follow-up visits, all patients are asked to undergo a chest CT, and information including survival status, symptoms, CT images, and treatment is collected. Radiation pneumonitis and other toxicities induced by radiotherapy are graded by two radiation oncologists according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0 (CTCAE4.0).
  3. Detect serum proteins, gene expression profile, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, and epigenetic modifications that may be associated with radiation pneumonitis.
  4. Screen biomarkers that are associated with radiation pneumonitis via univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.
  5. Construct a predictive model of radiation pneumonitis based on clinical information, radiomics, and biomarkers via machine learning or Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator.
  6. Use Kaplan-Meier and Cox model to analyze the association of radiation pneumonitis with survival and efficacy of antitumor treatment.
  7. Identify biomarkers and predictors of other toxicities induced by radiotherapy including radiation esophagitis, cardiotoxicity and radiodermatitis.

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

Genders Eligible for Study

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
