  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • • Patients undergoing Cyberknife treatment to spinal metastasis
  • >18 years of age

About this study

A prospective study evaluating prone and supine positioning for radiation planning of spine Cyberknife radiotherapy treatment. Patients with tumours in which PTV coverage is compromised due to tumour geography, including posteriorly based lesions in the vertebral column and close proximity to organ at risk (other than the spinal cord).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, non-randomised radiotherapy planning study.

Subsets of patients with specific tumour and anatomical characteristics will benefit from improved PTV prescription isodose coverage, reduced spinal cord dose, and organs at risk dose by undergoing either prone or supine setup, planning and treatment. Both prone and supine CT radiotherapy planning scans for patients undergoing spine SBRT treatment will undergo comparison of radiotherapy plans to guide recommendation of prone treatment for future patients.

Patients continue to receive treatment in the proposed position as recommended y their treating physician.

What participants receive

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

  • Setup and Imaging for at CT radiation planningOther

    Patients will undergo an additional CT scan acquisition at CT radiotherapy planning in order that all participating patients have a prone and supine CT scan available to compare radiation therapy plans.

What is being measured

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

  1. PTV isodose coverage

    To compare the PTV coverage of radiotherapy plans delivered in prone and supine positions

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Organs at risk dose

    Compare organs at risk dose between supine and prone positioning.

    Measured: Immediate

  2. Comfort scores

    Evaluate comfort scores in both treatment positions (supine and prone)

    Measured: Immediate

  3. CT and MRI registration

    Evaluate CT and MRI registration on tumour target delineation

    Measured: Immediate

  4. Treatment time duration

    Treatment time duration

    Measured: Immediate

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Setup and Imaging for at CT radiation planning in people with Solid Tumor, Adult, 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 23 Feb 2022. 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 Merina Ahmed (02086426011, merina.ahmed@rmh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PTV isodose coverage (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year.). 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 23 Feb 2022.
