Conditions

Adjuvant Therapy on the Clinical Outcome of Patients With Desmoid Tumors After, Surgical Resection, The Aim of the Study is to Evaluate the Efficacy of Photodynamic Therapy as an

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative 5-ALA oral administration and subsequently intraoperative tumor bed phototherapy with red light laser, as an adjuvant therapy on the 3 years rate of local tumor recurrence in patients with desmoid tumors. To evaluate the Safety of 5-ALA administration. 5 years local recurrence rate.

Interventions

DRUG5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID (5-ALA), is a non fluorescent prodrug.

60 mg/kg 5-ALA prepared solution given orally, 3-5 hours before induction of anesthesia. Red light laser given by a Dye laser system, wave length of 635nm, in s dose of 150J/cm for 2000 seconds (33 minutes) will be given to tumor bed. In case of positive margins a second operation and 5-ALA administration or irradiation will be given.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint is a binary variable where each patient is classified as a recurrence or a not recurrence case and will be determined by calculating the proportion of recurrence versus non recurrence ratesthree years

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
To assess the safety of study drug administration in the study population. To assess the 5 years local recurrence rate.five yearsData from all subjects who receive any study drug will be included in the safety analyses. The severity of the toxicities will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE whenever possible. Adverse events will be summarized by worst NCI CTC grade. Adverse events classified as NCI CTCAE Grade 3 or Grade 4, study-drug-related events, and serious adverse events will be summarized separately. Laboratory data will be graded according to NCI CTCAE severity grade.
