Short Course Of Preoperative Radiotherapy in Head and Neck-, Trunk- and Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcomas (SCOPES)

The SCOPES study: Towards reducing the treatment burden for soft tissue sarcoma patients

Period

06/25/2021 until 04/01/2034

Dutch title

Kortdurende pre-operatieve radiotherapie bij hoofd- en nek-, romp- en extremiteiten weke delen sarcomen

Acronym

SCOPES

Reference code

 NCT04425967

Intervention model

Randomization between the standard arm A of 50 Gy in 5 weeks or arm B with hypofractination of 14x3Gy

Full description

Currently, soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are preoperatively irradiated in a conventionally fractionated regimen of 25 x 2 Gy in five weeks. Recent radiobiological investigations, however, suggest sensitivity to (modest) hypofractionation. Within this study, patients will be randomized to receive either the conventional schedule of 25 x 2 Gy or a shorter preoperative regimen of 14 x 3 Gy, in the hypothesis that both the postoperative wound complication rate until 30 days after surgery, as well as the local control probability at two years are comparable in both arms.
