Overview

There is a prospective risk-adapted evaluation of the optimal dose of radiotherapy for definitive radiotherapy of locally advanced small cell lung cancer within the corridor recommended as standard therapy according to the current interdisciplinary S3 guideline of the German Cancer Society/Cancer Aid/AWMF

Description

The main objective of this study is to determine whether patients with SCLC who have a metabolically active residual tumor in the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT scan after two to three cycles of induction chemotherapy have a similarly low local recurrence rate with higher dose. There is a prospective risk-adapted evaluation of the optimal dose of radiotherapy for definitive radiotherapy of locally advanced small cell lung cancer within the corridor recommended as standard therapy according to the current interdisciplinary S3 guideline of the German Cancer Society/Cancer Aid/AWMF. Allocation to PET boost, if confirmed vital tumor rest by PET CT and biopsy.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
