Overview

The purpose of PERMIT is to collect information on the treatment of radiotherapy patients using a new radiotherapy machine that includes magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging (MR linac) to guide treatment. The aim is to use this information to support the introduction of MR Linac into clinical practice.

PERMIT will collect details on patients treated on the MR linac plus details on their side effects and other outcomes. This information plus technical and imaging information will be combined with information from other centres using this machine. By doing so this will help us learn how best to use the MR Linac in the future and design new radiotherapy protocols

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Radiotherapy treatment suitable to be delivered on the MR Linac.
  2. Patient provides written, informed consent and/or authorization.
  3. Patients between the ages of 5 and under 16 years old may enter protocol with parental/guardian consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Contra-indications to MR imaging.
  2. Radiotherapy not suitable for delivery on the MR Linac e.g. those with extended field lengths (exceeding 20 cm).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
