Trial Information

Hypofractionated Ion Irradiation (Protons or Carbon Ions) of Sacrococcygeal Chordoma


Inclusion Criteria:



- Histological confirmation of sacrococcygeal chordoma

- Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%

- Patients age 18 - 80 years

- Macroscopic tumour (MRI)

- Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- Lack of macroscopic tumour

- Tumor extension in craniocaudal direction >16cm

- Metal implants at the level of the tumor which could influence the treatment planning

- Inability of the patient to lie quiet for at least 20 minutes (eg due to pain)

- Prior radiotherapy of the pelvic region

- Simultaneous participation in another trial that could influence the results of the
study

- Active medical implants without treatment approveal at the time of ion irradiation
(eg, cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator)

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

safety and feasibility of hypofractionated irradiation in patients with sacrococygeal chordoma using ions (protons or carbon ions) in raster scan technique

Outcome Description:

The evaluation is based on incidence of Grade 3-5 toxicity (NCI-CTC-AE) and/or discontinuation of the treatment for any reason. Endpoint is the proportion of treatments without Grade 3-5 toxicity (NCI-CTC-AE) up to 12 months after treatment and/or discontinuation of the treatment for any reason

Outcome Time Frame:

From date of treatment start until 12 months after treatment.

Authority:

Germany: Federal Office for Radiation Protection

Study ID:

ISAC-01

NCT ID:

NCT01811394

Start Date:

January 2013

Completion Date:

January 2016
