Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Primary Ovarian or Uterine Cancer
United States15 participantsStarted 2017-10-27
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with ovarian or uterine cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Female patients \> 18 years of age.
* ECOG 0 or 1.
* Diagnosis of primary ovarian cancer of any histology (patients with diagnoses of fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer are also eligible), or primary uterine cancer of papillary serous histology.
* Pathologic confirmation of eligible histology.
* Three or fewer total sites of active disease (at least one site of active disease to be treated on study must be confined to the abdomen or pelvis excluding liver and must be \< 5 cm in greatest dimension as determined by pre-screening cross-sectional imaging).
* Additional site(s) of active disease (such as parenchymal liver and lung metastases, or supraclavicular nodal metastases), should be considered for treatment (off study) with radiation, surgery, or another form of local therapy, at the discretion of the study PI.
* Systemic therapy is allowed but SBRT cannot begin until \> or = 7 days after the last cycle of systemic therapy, and systemic therapy cannot be initiated or re-initiated until \> or = 7 days after SBRT. There will be no limit on prior lines of systemic therapy.
* Patients with contraindications to intravenous (IV) contrast administration are still eligible for this study if the tumor can be delineated clearly without IV contrast (at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist) but will not participate in the functional imaging studies.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant women. If patients are not status post bilateral salpingo…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
