About this study

Official title: VisionRT-based Deep Inspiration Breath-hold (DIBH) Respiratory Motion Management Strategy, A Pilot Study for Thoracic and Abdominal Tumors Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

A more recent competing technology for implementing the DIBH technique is real-time surface photogrammetry using the AlignRT system (Vision RT Ltd., London, UK). AlignRT system use non-ionization near infrared light to track patient surface motion. The system has one projector projecting near infrared optical pattern on patient surface. The optical pattern is imaged by optical cameras (two per pod) at ~25 Hz. The user selects a region-of-interest (ROI) on the surface and the software calculates and displays the real-time position in six degrees (3 translations and 3 rotations) in real-time. Once the patient has matched the pre-determined DIBH position (within threshold accuracy), the radiation beam is enabled to be turned on for treatment.

Read the detailed description

VRT-DIBH has already applied to left breast radiotherapy to spare lung and heart. Compared to ABC-DIBH, VRT-DIBH has several potential advantages:

  1. VRT monitors patient (surface) position in addition to DIBH signal, while ABC only check the tidal volume, which can remain the same even if the patient shifts slightly on the couch;
  2. VRT is more cost effective, as patient tubing needs to be replaced daily for ABC;
  3. VRT potentially has advantage on patient compliance, as with ABC breath is forced impeded while with VRT breath-hold is voluntary.

In this study, we renovate the established DIBH motion management strategy by adopting AlignRT system. The purpose of this study is to develop, validate, and prove the feasibility of VRT-DIBH technique for lung and liver SBRT.

Being tested
Tidal volume measured by spirometer and DIBH surface from CT image

What participants receive

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

  • Tidal volume measured by spirometer and DIBH surface from CT imageDevice

    The SOC DIBH CT scan will be transferred to Eclipse treatment planning system for treatment planning. Tidal volume measured by spirometer and DIBH surface from CT image will be used as a reference surface for patient treatment initial setup. CBCT will be acquired before each fractional treatment for the patient alignment before beam delivery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation Between Kilovoltages X-ray Images of the Diaphragm and the Surface Guided Motion Analyzed With Matlab

    VRT-DIBH (VisionRT-based deep inspiration breath-hold) feasibility will be evaluated using descriptive statistics to explore the geometry accuracy and to characterize tumor motion/surface stability and repeatability during treatment. CT images of the treatment site, as well as kV projections and VRT surface images, will be taken and analyzed for this purpose. The trajectory data and kV projection data were analyzed in Matlab. In the kV images, the diaphragm was segmented and used for tracking of the BH position. This was done using several steps including: derivatives, polynomial curve fitting and high pass filtering. The correlation was then measured using a Pearson correlation. Correlation of each breath hold was taken and averaged.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Target Margin Contingency Table Based on Surface and Diaphragm Motion

    To assess the necessary margin for a target, the amount of surface and diaphragm motion was analyzed. For each x-ray image the diaphragm motion and corresponding surface motion were recorded. These motions were then categorized based on their size and researchers counted how often these movements fell within the specified motion ranges.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tidal volume measured by spirometer and DIBH surface from CT image in people with Thoracic Cancer and Abdominal Cancer, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 7 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 25 Nov 2024. 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 25 Nov 2024). 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?

Correlation Between Kilovoltages X-ray Images of the Diaphragm and the Surface Guided Motion Analyzed With Matlab (time frame: 1 month). 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 25 Nov 2024.
