Feasibility of CBCT-Guided Online Adaptive Radiotherapy (FASCINATE)

FASCINATE: FeASibility of Cbct-guIded oNline Adaptive radioThErapy

Sponsor

The Netherlands Cancer Institute

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Aug 29, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Cervical Cancer Prostate Cancer Lung Cancer Head and Neck Cancer Bladder Cancer

Summary

The accuracy of radiotherapy can be increased by correcting for geometric uncertainties and changes between radiotherapy fractions. These corrections are currently done with online adaptive treatment on a specialized linear accelerator (linac) for a small subset of patients. However, patients currently treated on a standard linac could also benefit from online adaptive radiotherapy. The objective is to determine the feasibility of online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy on a standard Elekta linac.

cT1-4
cN0 or cN1-2 after induction treatment (with or without lymph node dissection)
Accepted for radiotherapy for lung cancer with lymph node metastases (with or without chemotherapy).
Non-small cell lung cancer (either pathology proven or enough clinical suspicion to warrant radiotherapy to primary tumor and pathologic lymph nodes.

cM0

Exclusion Criteria14

Patients who are pregnant.
Specific for prostate cohort:
Patients with a medical condition that severely compromises CBCT image quality (mainly hip prostheses).

Specific for cervical cohort:
\- Patients with a medical condition that severely compromises CBCT image quality (mainly hip prostheses).
Specific for bladder cohort:
Patients with a medical condition that severely compromises CBCT image quality (mainly hip prostheses).
Severe lower urinary tract symptoms that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).
Specific for lung cohort:
\- Severe pulmonary complaints that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).
Specific for head and neck cohort:
Severe complaints that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).
Pulmonary fibrosis

Interventions

DEVICEonline CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy using a new software

Patients are treated in the NKI with CBCT-guided online adaptive radiotherapy. While in the clinical workflow one planning CT is used to make the radiotherapy plan, this study treatment creates a new radiotherapy plan on the day of every treatment fraction. Instead of directly irradiating, the radiotherapy plan is adjusted to the anatomy of the day.
