Trial Details

Trial Status:Active Not Recruiting
Trial Phase:Phase 1

71 Participants Needed

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if short-course radiation therapy (SCRT) can effectively treat high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and if active surveillance is a safe alternative to radiation for moderate-risk cSCC in adults with head and neck cSCC who have undergone surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does short-course radiation therapy (5 treatments over 2 weeks) effectively prevent cancer recurrence in high-risk patients? Can moderate-risk patients be safely monitored with active surveillance instead of receiving radiation? Researchers will compare: Short-course radiation therapy (SCRT) for high-risk patients to historical data on long-course radiation to determine effectiveness. Active surveillance for moderate-risk patients to expected recurrence rates to assess safety. Participants will: High-Risk Group (SCRT): Receive short-course radiation therapy and attend follow-up visits. Moderate-Risk Group (Active Surveillance): Have regular check-ups, including clinical exams and imaging, to monitor for cancer recurrence. Optionally provide blood samples for future biomarker research.

47 Participants Needed

Daily patient participation is critical to the successful, life-saving delivery of radiotherapy. There is very little in the literature describing the best way to prepare patients to give optimal participation. This study aims to look at an already-prepared conversion of patient instruction materials and measure whether the improvement in clarity and specificity produces the desired changes in patient decision-making and emotional comfort.

Patients with high risk breast cancers (any locally advanced breast cancer patient defined as Stages IIB-III \[excluding inflammatory breast cancer\] with stage IIA being eligible for triple negative and HER2-positive breast cancers) will receive neoadjuvant radiation to any portion of their tumour in three fractions in order to act as an immune primer. Radiation will be delivered to a portion of the tumour in three fractions. The patient will be positioned prone as per the SIGNAL 2.0 protocol. The patient will then go on to standard of care treatment (neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery) followed by whole-breast radiation as needed. Pathologic complete response will be the primary outcome. Immune markers will also be evaluated.

The proposed pilot study aims to develop and test a patient video educational tool, an interactive Mobile Doctor (iMD), that can be integrated in radiation oncology setting to effectively engage cancer patients receiving treatment at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to facilitate smoking cessation and maintaining smoking abstinence in the context of their radiation treatment. This study is the first to address tobacco use among can patients receiving radiation therapy that targets both tobacco cessation (current users) and maintaining abstinence (former users who have recently quit).

Why Other Patients Applied

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Radiation Oncology clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Radiation Oncology clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Radiation Oncology trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Radiation Oncology is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Radiation Oncology medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Radiation Oncology clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Short-Course Radiation for Skin Cancer, Modernized Instructions for Cancer and Learning Tool for Tumors to the Power online platform.
