Overview

This study investigates the feasibility of imaging and treatment on a novel 1.5 T MR-Linac radiotherapy hybrid device.

Description

Novel hybrid devices combine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a linear accelerator in a single device. The superior soft tissue contrast compared with cone-beam computed tomography based treatment and the possibility for daily plan adaptation promise a higher precision of treatment, better target volume coverage and normal tissue sparing. In a first step the present study will test the feasibility of imaging and treatment on the 1.5 T MR-Linac.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • existing indication for radiation therapy
  • minimum age 18 years, no upper age limit
  • capacity for consent
  • Informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • contraindication for MRI (claustrophobia, metallic implants not applicable for MRI
  • pregnancy

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.
