What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) early to people with adenoid cystic carcinoma that has spread to a few spots can slow the cancer's growth. About 32 participants will either receive SBRT or standard care. Researchers will track how long the cancer stays under control and how patients feel.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to delay cancer progression and improve quality of life for people with advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. SBRT can cause side effects like fatigue or damage to nearby organs.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 32 people

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject must have histologically confirmed adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of any primary site with distant metastases detected clinically or on imaging (biopsy of metastatic disease preferred, but not required) * Cohort 1 * One to five detectable sites of metastatic disease at any organ or site (including bone and CNS involvement) * Maximum size of 3 cm for brain lesions. * Note: Measurable disease is not required * Note: Patients with isolated intracranial disease for whom SRS would be the preferred standard of care are not eligible. * Note: Patients may have additional sites of disease for which radiation is not feasible or indicated provided this disease is: 1) Less than 1 cm in maximum diameter on most recent imaging; or 2) Stable over the last 3 months as determined by the investigator * Cohort 2 * At least 1 site of non-osseous disease * Cohort 1 * All (up to 5) metastatic foci should be amenable to SBRT as per review by a radiation oncologist based on protocol specified dose / dose constraints (there is no prespecified minimum or maximum size) * Cohort 2 * At least one metastatic focus amenable to local ablative treatment with any of the following: radiation therapy; radiofrequency, microwave, or cryoablation; bland or chemoembolization * Cohort 1 * Primary tumor either controlled, or amenable for local treatment with SBRT * Defined as no evidence of progression at primary or local site of disease (if known) within 6 months prior to enrollment * Age 18 years or older * ECOG performance status of 0-2 * Prior systemic therapy is allowed but no therapy (cytotoxic or molecularly targeted agents) 2 weeks prior to the first fraction of radiotherapy, and until after the last fraction of SBRT. * Cohort 1 * For patients with metastases that have been previously treated (prior resection, radiotherapy, radiofrequency or cryoablation): * If the previously treated site is controlled based on imaging, the patient is eligible for this trial and does not need further treatment of the controlled site * If the previously treated site is not controlled based on imaging, the patient is eligible for this trial as long as the site is amenable to SBRT * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 72 hours prior to the start of (chemo)radiation therapy. "Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)" is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) or who is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined clinically as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over 45 in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, women under the age of 55 must have a documented serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level less than 40 mIU/mL. * Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to use any contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year. Men who are sexually active with WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 1 month after treatment. Women who are not of childbearing potential (i.e., who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile as well as azoospermic men) do not require contraception. See Appendix B for further guidance on contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Cohort 1 * Subject who has received systemic therapy for treatment of ACC within 2 weeks of enrollment. * Evidence of need for urgent surgical intervention for metastatic CNS or spine disease. * Cohort 1 * Alternative locally ablative therapies received (radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, or \[chemo\]embolization) for any metastatic foci planned for SBRT at the time of study enrollment that precludes administration of SBRT. * Bone metastasis in a femoral bone for which surgical stabilization is recommended. * Cohort 1 * Active disease \>1 cm that is progressing and not amenable to SBRT. * Pregnant or lactating women. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment. Exceptions: include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer, and low-risk prostate adenocarcinoma being managed with active surveillance. A history of another separate malignancy in remission without evidence of active disease in the last 2 years is permitted.
