A Study Using Cone Beam CT for Head and Neck Cancer
NCT01661062 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Cone beam CT (computed tomography) is a developing technology which allows CT images to be obtained while a patient is on the radiation treatment table.(A CT scan uses x-rays to produce detailed pictures of structures in the body.) In this study, cone beam CT scans will be obtained before individual radiation treatment sessions for head and neck cancer. The information gathered from these scans will be used by the researchers to look at patient movement as well as changes in the amount of normal and tumor tissue throughout the course of radiation therapy. The researchers will use this information to create hypothetical radiation treatment plans, which will be used as the basis for future research. The cone beam CT scan data will not be used to alter the actual radiation treatment of any of the patients enrolled on the study. In addition, tests of salivary output and swallowing and questionnaires about quality of life will be made to assess how the doses of radiation affect them.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01661062
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01661062 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 23 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, which has 261 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Head and Neck Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CT) Scan is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01661062 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
