An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Henry Ford Health System at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Daily adaptive radiotherapy with individualized planning margins for thoracic and pelvic cancer patients will increase the potential of reducing dose to OARs, thereby reducing treatment-related toxicities and ultimately providing these patients with a better quality of life.

About this study
Daily adaptive radiotherapy with individualized planning margins for thoracic and pelvic cancer patients will increase the potential of reducing dose to OARs, thereby reducing treatment-related toxicities and ultimately providing these patients with a better quality of life. Thus, the overarching objective of this work is to develop a CBCT-guided adaptive workflow and to measure the benefits to patients of the adaptive treatment paradigm utilizing patient reported outcomes in a first-of-kind study.
Read the detailed description
- To individualize the planning margins used for treatment, we will assess the impact of the different uncertainties on patient-specific planning margins. We determine the dosimetric uncertainties for patients during planning and delivery through the daily adaptive process. In so doing, we will determine the relationship between the dose distributions and the associated treatment outcomes.
- To perform retrospective clinical studies using patient data, we determine the relationship between dosimetry from plans developed using the optimized patient-specific margins (plans from (1) that are robust to uncertainties) and retrospective, clinical outcomes. This data will be used to inform daily adaptation and plan quality criteria for a prospective clinical protocol.
- To develop (with our clinical collaborators) a first-of-kind study to measure the efficacy of daily adaptive treatment with individualized planning margins, using clinical and quality of life (patient reported) outcomes, and to compare these against the conventional treatment approach, where a single treatment plan with population-based treatment margins is utilized for all treatment fractions.

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?
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?
The number of patients with treatment-related Grade 3 or higher adverse cardiac events as defined by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0) at 2 years (time frame: through study completion, an average of 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 NCT04731571, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 11 Jun 2025.
