Trial summary

This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT) simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Same-session MR-only Simulation and Treatment With MRI-guided Adaptive Palliative RadioTherapy (MAP-RT)

This proposed study is unique in that patients will not undergo computed tomography (CT) simulation at any point during their treatment course and will instead have same-session magnetic resonance (MR)-only simulation and treatment planning, on-table, using the adaptive radiotherapy (ART) workflow. In this manner, patients requiring urgent treatment could initiate treatment as early as the day of initial radiation oncology consultation.

Being tested
Volumetric MR imaging, Radiation therapy
Medical subject headings
Neoplasms, Neoplasm Metastasis, Hemoptysis, Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, Superior Vena Cava Syndrome, Mediastinal Diseases

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Volumetric MR imaging planningExperimental* All patients will undergo volumetric MR imaging on treatment days in positioning appropriate for the specific treatment site. * Patients will receive standard of care palliative radiation therapy
Receives: Device: Volumetric MR imaging; Radiation: Radiation therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of Same-session MRI-only Simulation as Defined as More Than 70% of Patients Receiving at Least 70% of Their Scheduled Treatment Fractions on the First On-table Attempt for Each Respective Fraction.

    Measured: Completion of enrollment (approximately 29 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Volumetric MR imaging and Radiation therapy in people with Malignancy and Metastasis, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2025. 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 States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Jan 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of Same-session MRI-only Simulation as Defined as More Than 70% of Patients Receiving at Least 70% of Their Scheduled Treatment Fractions on the First On-table Attempt for Each Respective Fraction. (time frame: Completion of enrollment (approximately 29 months)). 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 10 Jan 2025.
