About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Solid Tumors focused on measuring Treatment failure

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age of 20-85 years, with ECOG performance 0-2.
  2. Treatment failure solid tumor(s), with histologically or clinically confirmed recurrence or progression after primary treatment of either single modality of surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy or any combinations.
  3. Complete surgical excision is NOT feasible as salvage treatment for the recurrent or progressive tumor(s), or the patient does NOT agree to receive the surgical procedure.
  4. Salvage radiotherapy is possible, and a total dose of 50Gy/22fx is considered tolerable.
  5. Measurable lesions by image examinations or endoscopy within 2 months.
  6. The distribution of the lesions of interest does NOT exceed 20cm range.
  7. The patient can tolerate implementation of cisplatin and taxotere weekly therapy, with respect to hematopoietic status, renal function, liver function, allergy and other potential adverse effects.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Re-irradiation of 50Gy/22fx is considered NOT tolerable.
  2. Future tumor response to treatment in this study is NOT possibly evaluated using image examinations or endoscopy.
  3. The patient is participating in other clinical trials.
  4. Future regular clinical follow-up is NOT possible.
  5. The patient has large-area metallic implants within hyperthermia field (not including metallic hemoclips with small area and few numbers).
  6. The patient has pacemakers.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Radiation; Hyperthermia; Chemotherapy

Arm Description

Patients will be treated with radiotherapy with 50Gy/22fx/6 weeks, plus hyperthermia 42℃ ± 0.5℃ for 40 minutes within 2hr after irradiation, once a week since the 1st week of radiation for a total of 6 times. The regimen of concurrent chemotherapy will cisplatin 30mg/m2 and taxotere 20mg/m2 per week for 6 weekly cycles.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Tumor response rate
To estimate the tumor response rate (complete response + partial response; CR + PR; according to RECIST criteria version 1.1).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Adverse events
To estimate rates of each grade adverse events (CTCAE, version 4.0) which is possibly, probably, or definitely related to treatment and which occurs within 3 months from the start of radiation combined with hyperthermia and chemotherapy.
Late adverse events
To estimate rates of late adverse events.
Time to Disease Progression
To estimate the local control rate, distant metastasis rate and progression-free rate for patients.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary goals of hyperthermia combined with chemotherapy/radiotherapy on treatment failure solid tumors are tumor response rate, while secondary goals are rates of acute and late adverse effects, local control rate, distant metastasis rate, progression-free rate and overall survival rate.
Detailed Description
The goal of this study is to conduct a phase II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of combination of low temperature (40-43℃ range) hyperthermia and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in treatment failure solid tumors. There are 3 reasons of conducting this clinical trial. Firstly, it has been demonstrated that hyperthermia can enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in various cancers, with acceptable safety profiles. Secondly, the salvage outcomes for treatment failure solid tumors were frustrated. Thermal enhancement ratio (TER) was observed when using hyperthermia combining radiotherapy or chemotherapy. This strategy should be investigated in its efficacy in treating those failing from previous standard treatment and maybe several times of salvage therapy. Thirdly, biologically reciprocal complementation between hyperthermia, chemotherapy and radiotherapy was observed. The reason may be complicated, including theories involving hypoxia, immunomodulation and reperfusion … etc. If the immunity microenvironment could be improved by addition of hyperthermia, an unexpected survival benefit as compared with the literature may be potentially demonstrated from this study.
