Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Additional Details

The investigators tend to make reference to the prescribed dose and segmentation method in the phase I/II clinical study program completed by Mizoe et al., NIRS. It is estimated that the 1-year OS rate of high-grade glioma treated with photon (50Gy divided into 25 times) followed by carbon ion push (24.8GyE divided into 8 times) can reach 87.8%, and the target value is set at 61.1%. A single-center, single-arm, prospective Phase II clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this regimen. The primary end points were treatment-related toxicity, dose-restricted toxicity, and progression-free survival, while the secondary end points were survival and objective response rate. A safe and effective segmentation dose for high-grade glioma suitable for the investigators' facility and RBE model was obtained. Using the physical dosimetry and biological advantages of heavy ions, the investigators can improve the tumor control rate and reduce the occurrence of radiation damage in peripheral brain tissue caused by increasing prescription dose, and provide new treatment suggestions for glioma radiotherapy.
