Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study for Image-Guided Radiation Therapy in Pediatric Brain Tumors and Side Effects (NCT NCT00187226)

NCT ID: NCT00187226

Last Updated: 2023-05-31

Results Overview

Local tumor control was determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine performed after radiation therapy. Imaging studies were performed every 3-4 months during the first three years and then every 6 months through five years. Imaging studies demonstrating tumor progression were electronically registered to the imaging data used to plan therapy. Local failure included tumor progression within the volume that received the prescribed dose of irradiation.

Participant Flow

202 patients were enrolled between July 11, 1997 and January 14, 2003 for the therapeutic phase of the trial. Among those patients, 167 were treated with a 1cm clinical target volume (CTV) margin and 35 were treated with a 2cm CTV margin. Local tumor progression was determined by MR imaging. 202 patients correspond to the initial number of patients enrolled prior to the amendment which increased accrual 361

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months after the enrollment of the last therapeutic patient

Population: Patients with Ependymoma, Craniopharyngioma, Low-grade Glioma, and High-grade Glioma were analyzed by diagnosis.

Local tumor control was determined by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine performed after radiation therapy. Imaging studies were performed every 3-4 months during the first three years and then every 6 months through five years. Imaging studies demonstrating tumor progression were electronically registered to the imaging data used to plan therapy. Local failure included tumor progression within the volume that received the prescribed dose of irradiation.
