NCT03680586

Brief Summary

This trial studies how well ultra low-dose radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage I-IV stomach mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Ultra low-dose radiation therapy may be able to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors while having fewer side effects in patients with MALT lymphoma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Complete gastric response

    The complete response rate at one year will be estimated along with 95% confidence intervals.

    Up to 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Distant recurrence defined as disease progression outside of the stomach that was not present initially

    Up to 1 year

  • Incidence of acute gastrointestinal toxicity graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v.) 4.03

    Up to 1 year

  • Incidence of chronic gastrointestinal toxicity graded according to CTCAE v. 4.03

    Up to 1 year

  • Time to local gastric event

    Up to 1 year

  • Time to distant event

    Up to 1 year

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (low-dose radiation therapy)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo low-dose radiation therapy over 2 fractions for 2 consecutive days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or progressive disease at 12-16 weeks post-treatment, or persistent disease at 1 year may undergo higher-dose radiation therapy at the discretion of treating physician.

Drug: Radiation Therapy

Interventions

Undergo ultra low-dose radiation

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients 18 years or older with stage I-IV MALT lymphoma involving the stomach. Other low grade lymphomas including follicular grade I/II and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) are ineligible
  • Patients must have biopsy-proven disease within the stomach. Patients with clinical and/or radiographic masses will have dimensions noted prior to therapy
  • Patients must have H. pylori testing which is negative within 6 months prior to treatment
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test (human chorionic gonadotropin \[hCG\]) within 2 weeks of protocol entry
  • Planned systemic therapy prior to, during, or after gastric radiation therapy is permitted however the timing of systemic therapy will be recorded and patients will be stratified according to receipt of systemic therapy
  • Patients must have the ability to give informed consent
  • Necessary treatment with antibiotics for reasons unrelated to gastric lymphoma is permitted however the timing and nature of the treatment will be recorded

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with aggressive B cell lymphoma histology, including diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and grade 3 follicular lymphoma
  • Patients with other histologic subtypes of low grade lymphoma (other than MALT) including chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or follicular lymphoma
  • Patients with bulky tumors \> 10 cm in any dimension
  • Patients with a history of prior radiation to the stomach if re-treatment would exceed known gastric or surrounding critical structure (e.g., bowel, spinal cord) tolerance
  • Patients who are pregnant
  • Patients with scleroderma are ineligible
