Stereotactic MRI-guided On-table Adaptive Radiation Therapy (SMART) for Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Stereotactic MRI-guided On-table Adaptive Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy will be delivered with an integrated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiotherapy delivery system (ViewRay MRIdian or MRIdian Linac). The prescribed dose will be 50 Gray (Gy) in 5 fractions. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) fractions will be delivered at least twice per week, and with at least 18 hours between fractions. Each participant will be aligned in the treatment system with MRI image-guidance. On-table adaptive re-planning will be used when clinically indicated. In all patients, real-time MRI imaging will be used throughout treatment delivery to monitor the target location and control the radiation beam as necessary.
Study summary
High-dose magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided hypofractionated radiation therapy delivered using daily adaptive dose planning has been shown in a retrospective study to result in improved overall survival, relative to patients receiving lower radiation doses, in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer, without increasing the rate of serious gastrointestinal toxicity.
The goal of the proposed trial is to investigative in a controlled, prospective manner the robustness of this outcome, and to track quality of life over a 5-year trial period.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Gastrointestinal toxicity assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5 — 90 days
Grade 3 or higher gastrointestinal toxicity assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5 within 90 days of completion of radiation therapy
