UNIty-Based MR-Linac Guided Adaptive RadioThErapy for High GraDe Glioma-3 (UNITED-3): Applying a Two Phase, Personalized Margin, Reduced Clinical Target Volume Approach


Sponsor

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to test whether an adaptive radiation therapy (RT), two-phase approach in participants with glioblastoma impacts local control compared to standard non-adaptive RT approach. The main questions of the study are to see how this adaptive, two-phase RT approach compares to standard RT in terms of: * Local control * Overall and progression-free survival * Patterns of failure * Toxicity, Neurological Function, and Quality of Life


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a precision radiation technique called MR-Linac guided adaptive radiotherapy for newly diagnosed grade 4 brain tumors (glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma). Using an MRI scanner combined with a radiation machine, doctors can reshape the radiation treatment in real time at each session, adapting to how the tumor changes during the course of treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You have a confirmed grade 4 brain tumor (glioblastoma or grade 4 astrocytoma) diagnosed by biopsy or surgery within the last 12 weeks - You are well enough to receive full radiation therapy with concurrent systemic treatment (ECOG 0-2) - Your kidney, liver, and blood count levels are within acceptable ranges - You are able to lie flat for at least 30 minutes and tolerate the MRI environment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a pacemaker, metal implants, or other MRI contraindications - You cannot tolerate the head immobilization required during treatment - You have previously received brain radiation - You have severe kidney impairment preventing gadolinium contrast use (unless on dialysis) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
