Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any opportunities to become involved in this research endeavor?
"Clinicaltrials.gov shows that this medical experiment has been actively seeking out volunteers since its inception on March 3rd 2020 and the most recent edit was made November 18th 2022."
To what extent does Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) threaten the safety of patients?
"Through our internal assessment, we gave Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) a safety rating of 2. This is based on the fact that this Phase 2 trial has generated some data related to security but no information yet confirming its efficacy."
To what medical issues is Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) predominantly applied?
"Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is an effective treatment for thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, as well as varicella-zoster virus acute retinal necrosis."
Are there any secondary investigations into the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)?
"At present, SBRT is being studied in 762 trials globally. Of these trials, 189 are currently in the third phase of their clinical experiments. The main hub for such research is Duarte, California; however, there exist 40098 different sites where patients can receive this form of radiation therapy."
What is the proposed size of this clinical trial's population?
"Affirmative. According to the information posted on clinicaltrials.gov, this research project is currently seeking volunteers. The trial was initially announced on March 3rd 2020 and has been modified as recently as November 18th 2022. 44 patients are needed across 10 sites in order to progress with the study."
How many settings are the research trials being conducted in?
"Ten clinical trial sites are available for this medical study. Several of them belong to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, such as Basking Ridge and Montvale in New jersey, while other locations exist across North America."
