Overview

To acquire data during High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatments aiming to track the brachytherapy source inside the patient verifying the delivery of the treatment plan.

Medical images (CT,MRI and US) combined with software developed by the investigator will be employed to predict the response of the Investigational product during the treatment and will be used as reference.The IP will be placed on the side of the treatment table and will acquire data during the whole treatment, which will be compared against information derived from the treatment plan. The IP based method can detect errors and information about motion and treatment uncertainties that are not currently available.

Description

Medical images (CT,MRI and US) combined with software developed by us will be employed to predict the response of the IP during the treatment and will be used as reference. The IP will be placed on the side of the treatment table and will acquire data during the whole treatment, which will be compared against information derived from the treatment plan. The IP based method can detect errors and information about motion and treatment uncertainties that are not currently available.

The IP will not change the workflow or be in contact with the patient since the panel will be placed on the side of a treatment table/bed at a safe distance from the patient. The data will be acquired automatically when radiation is detected and only two cables are necessary to power the system and collect the data. The cables will be placed in a convenient position together with the cables of the treatment table, not interfering with the clinical workflow. Clinical staff will not need to perform any extra actions during the whole process of the data acquisition.

The analysis of the data generated during the trial will be performed offline to avoid a possible interruption of the treatment due to any error (real or false) that may be detected using the system.

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.
