Trial summary

In this trial, Respiratory Motion Guided (RMG) 4DCBCT will be implemented for the first time on lung cancer patients. RMG-4DCBCT adapts the image acquisition as the patient's breathing changes (i.e. if the patient breathes faster, imaging data is acquired faster). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ADAPT: Adaptive CT Acquisition for Personalised Thoracic Imaging: A Phase 1 Pilot Study on the Use of Respiratory Motion Guided 4DCBCT for Lung Cancer Radiotherapy

In this trial, Respiratory Motion Guided (RMG) 4DCBCT will be implemented for the first time on lung cancer patients. RMG-4DCBCT adapts the image acquisition as the patient's breathing changes (i.e. if the patient breathes faster, imaging data is acquired faster).

By adapting the acquisition to the dynamic patient, personalised images of a patients lungs are able to be acquired for radiotherapy treatments.

Read the detailed description

Four dimensional cone beam computed tomography (4DCBCT) continues to play a pivotal role in the safe delivery of radiotherapy treatments for lung cancer patients. 4DCBCT meets exacting tumour localisation requirements by allowing radiation therapists to measure the tumour as a patient breathes (4D=volumetric images plus respiratory induced tumour motion). Despite the success of 4DCBCT to date, it suffers from relatively poor image quality, very long scan times (4min) and higher imaging doses than are necessary. The primary reason for these problems is that although the purpose of 4DCBCT is to acquire information about tumour motion due to respiration, there is no feedback from the patients breathing signal to adapt and optimise the image acquisition process. This clinical trial is a phase 1 first in human's pilot study and the aim is therefore to prove feasibility of RMG-4DCBCT, not necessarily efficacy. As such, patient scans will be acquired across a broad range of patient breathing conditions to optimise the RMG-4DCBCT technique and also to plan a hypothesis driven clinical trial to follow.

What is being measured

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

  1. RMG-4DCBCT image guidance is feasible for lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy

    This will be achieved by performing (offline) analysis of the RMG-4DCBCT images obtained and scoring them on a scale of one (excellent quality for image guidance) to three (unsuitable for image guidance).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure the extent of association between image quality and the patients' breathing conditions.

    Using RMG-4DCBCT scans acquired across a broad range of patients for the first time we will determine if there is a link between image quality and the patients' breathing conditions. This information will be used to improve the prototype.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, Lung, run by University of Sydney at 1 site in Australia.

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 19 May 2021. 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 Australia. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

RMG-4DCBCT image guidance is feasible for lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04070586, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 May 2021.
