About this study

Currently radiotherapy for prostate cancer is directed using scans or X-Rays, which ensures the radiotherapy treatment 'hits the target' and avoids the healthy tissues around the prostate. There are two current methods of radiotherapy image guidance- either placing small gold seeds into the prostate and taking XRays or doing a small CT scan of the prostate region each day. Neither of these methods are perfect and have drawbacks and inaccuracies.

The best way to see the prostate is with an MRI scan - this shows the edge of the prostate much more clearly and can even show the area of most aggressive cancer within the prostate. Shortly the investigators will have the ability to use a new machine - an MR-Linac - which combines an MR scanner and a radiotherapy machine.

As well as giving the investigators a clearer picture, and enabling the investigators to keep watching the prostate while the participant has their treatment (not currently possible with standard machines) this new machine will also allow the investigators to change the radiotherapy plan if they can see that the internal anatomy has shifted day to day. Currently the investigators have to give the same radiotherapy plan each day, which means the investigators have to treat a 'safety margin' around to prostate to allow for these day to day anatomy changes (e.g. rectal filling).

The aim of this study is to assess the technical feasibility of delivering radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer using the MR-Linac, including the feasibility of changing the radiotherapy plan on a daily basis to mirror internal anatomy changes. The investigators will recruit 30 patients with localised prostate cancer who need radiotherapy. The team will deliver the same dose in the same number of days i.e. the same as standard radiotherapy. Side effects will also be assessed by physicians and using patient questionnaires.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The proportion of patients in whom the imaging and treatment on the MR Linac (i.e. total time on the treatment couch) can be completed within 1 hour on 90% of fractions as assessed by the radiotherapy timing sheet.

    The radiotherapy timing sheet will be used to record the length of time for patients to have their MR guided adaptive radiotherapy for each fraction. This information will then inform if treatment can be given in a clinically feasible time frame.

    Measured: 2 YEARS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MR LINAC in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ALISON TREE (02086613269, ALISON.TREE@RMH.NHS.UK), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The proportion of patients in whom the imaging and treatment on the MR Linac (i.e. total time on the treatment couch) can be completed within 1 hour on 90% of fractions as assessed by the radiotherapy timing sheet. (time frame: 2 YEARS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2018.
