Judging MR Simulation Procedures: A Phase I-II Study of the Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Simulation in the Planning of Radiation Treatments

This is a master protocol for a prospective Phase I-II study evaluating feasibility and efficacy of incorporating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulation into the planning of radiation treatments.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase I/II clinical trial. A Phase I clinical trial tests the feasibility and safety of an investigational intervention. "Investigational" means that the process targeting high doses of radiation to the tumor based on MRI is still being studied. This research study is a Feasibility Study, which means it is the first-time investigators at this institution are examining this type of MR-guided dose planning. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared MRI planning for use.

  • In Phase I of this study, will prospectively determine the feasibility of using an MRI simulator to plan radiation therapy.
  • In Phase II, the efficacy of adjusting RT based on MRI simulation will be explored, either by utilizing an MRI-simulation and synthetic CT to plan treatment or by dose-painting based on functional MRI data

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
