Overview

This is a master prospective Phase I-II trial evaluating feasibility and efficacy of stereotactic magnetic resonance (MR) guided adaptive radiation therapy (SMART) in patients with cancer.

  • The phase 1 study will evaluate the feasibility and safety of delivering SMART in patients with cancer.
  • Phase 2 will evaluate efficacy of SMART with specific reference to tumor control and improvement in patient reported outcome measures

Description

This research study is a feasibility study, which means it is the first-time investigators at this institution are examining this type of MR-guided radiation to treat cancer.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved this device as a treatment option for cancer.

In this research study, the investigators are hoping to determine if adjusting radiation treatments based on daily MRI has a feasible way to deliver radiation for participants with pancreatic, lung or renal cancer.

  • ECOG performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%, see Appendix A)
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Specific eligibility requirements for each disease site with be covered in each specific cohort.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Specific exclusion requirements for each disease site with be covered in each specific cohort
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to gadolinium-based IV contrast.

    -- Note: If a patient will not receive contrast, this is not applicable

  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study.
  • Severe claustrophobia or anxiety
  • Participants who cannot undergo an MRI

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.
