About this study

This single-center study evaluates a novel body position and breath-holding device for lung cancer patients receiving stereotactic body radiation therapy. We will enroll 50 patients with single peripheral non-small cell lung cancer, compare tumor movement and radiation dose distribution with and without the device, to test if the device is safe, feasible and can improve treatment accuracy.

Read the detailed description

For patients with peripheral non-small cell lung cancer receiving stereotactic body radiation therapy, respiratory motion often causes target volume deviation and compromises dose accuracy to tumors and nearby organs at risk. Current standard immobilization methods have limited ability to stabilize deep breathing patterns. This single-center translational study uses an integrated body position and breath-holding device, enrolling 50 eligible patients who will undergo 4DCT scans both with and without the device while keeping their clinical SBRT treatment plan unchanged. We will compare tumor motion amplitude, target coverage, conformity index and organ dose parameters between the two scanning states, to verify the device's feasibility, safety and value in improving treatment precision, providing clinical evidence for wider application in lung SBRT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean respiratory motion amplitude of GTV and organs at risk (OARs) measured on 4DCT before and after abdominal pressure immobilization

    Respiratory motion amplitude (maximum displacement) of gross tumor volume (GTV) and organs at risk (OARs) will be contoured and extracted from pre-abdominal-pressure 4DCT and post-abdominal-pressure 4DCT. The difference in motion amplitude between the two states will be compared to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the novel abdominal pressure positioning membrane for lung SBRT.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Conformity index (CI) of SBRT planning target volume (PTV)

    CI of PTV calculated from SBRT dose distribution after abdominal pressure immobilization

    Measured: At the time of SBRT plan design, prior to treatment delivery

  2. Coverage of planning target volume (PTV)

    PTV coverage calculated from SBRT dose distribution after abdominal pressure immobilization

    Measured: At the time of SBRT plan design, prior to treatment delivery

  3. Maximum relative dose at 2 cm outside the PTV boundary (D2cm)

    Percentage of maximum dose at the region 2 cm outside PTV boundary on SBRT plan

    Measured: At the time of SBRT plan design, prior to treatment delivery

  4. Volume of normal ipsilateral lung receiving ≥20Gy,15Gy,10Gy and 5Gy (V20,V15, V10, V5)

    Dose-volume histogram parameters of normal treated lung from abdominal-pressure SBRT plan

    Measured: At the time of SBRT plan design, prior to treatment delivery

  5. Maximum dose (Dmax) to organs at risk including spinal cord, heart and esophagus

    Dmax of OARs derived from SBRT dose plan under abdominal pressure immobilization

    Measured: At the time of SBRT plan design, prior to treatment delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Novel Respiratory Immobilization Device for Lung SBRT in people with Non-Small Cell Carcinoma of Lung, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital at 1 site in China.

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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2026. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Mean respiratory motion amplitude of GTV and organs at risk (OARs) measured on 4DCT before and after abdominal pressure immobilization (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 4 Nov 2026.
