Trial Information

Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation With or Without Hippocampal Avoidance in SCLC a Randomized Phase III Trial


Inclusion Criteria:



- Small Cell Lung Cancer patients (limited disease or extensive without brain
metastases) candidate for PCI after a partial or complete response to chemotherapy or
chemoradiation − Sufficient proficiency in Dutch

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior radiotherapy to the brain

- central nervous system metastases or primary brain tumors

- Evidence of progressive extracranial metastatic disease

- Previous malignancy < 2 years ago except for adequately treated basal cell carcinoma
of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix

- Any systemic anticancer treatment during PCI or within 3 weeks before start PCI

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

neurocognitive decline

Outcome Description:

Each patient's total recall score recorded at 4 months will be compared to baseline and dichotomized into success (decline less or equal 5 points) or failure (decline more than 5 points). The difference between the groups, in terms of dichotomized decline will be tested by means of the Fisher's exact test. A p-value less than 0.049 will be considered significant. The primary analysis will be based on an intention-to-treat principle.

Outcome Time Frame:

4 months

Safety Issue:
