Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Intervention arm
This study is a prospective, single-arm, phase II exploratory trial. The primary objectives are to preliminarily evaluate the feasibility and safety of AI-assisted adaptive radiation therapy (ART) for the treatment of gastric lymphoma patients and to explore its preliminary efficacy.
Radiation: ART
All participants will receive intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). To ensure study quality, all radiation therapy plans will undergo review by the research team at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Target volume delineation will adhere to the involved-site radiation therapy (ISRT) principles recommended by the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group (ILROG) consensus guidelines. Treatment will be categorized based on intent: definitive radiation therapy or consolidative radiation therapy. The ART process primarily includes: imaging acquisition → AI-assisted automatic contouring → adaptive decision-making → plan optimization → verification → treatment delivery and documentation.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of patients successfully completing the full course of ART treatment
Time Frame: End of ART
Defined as the proportion of patients who complete ≥90% of the planned fractions of the online ART process. This includes successful completion of online image evaluation, plan modification (if required), verification that the modified plan meets preset criteria (OARs dose constraints, PTV coverage ≥95%), dose verification, and successful treatment delivery. Cases where treatment is not completed due to technical failures causing delays >60 minutes, or patient intolerance (e.g., vomiting/pain requiring interruption, or positional shifts >5mm that cannot be corrected) are excluded from this success metric.
End of ART
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Imaging assessment at approximately 12 weeks (3months) after completion of radiotherapy
Defined as the sum of patients achieving Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) according to the 2014 Lugano Classification for response assessment, divided by the number of patients in the analysis set. That is, ORR = (CR + PR) / Number of patients in the analysis set. Response assessment is performed 3 months after the last fraction of radiotherapy, categorized as either radiographic response (assessed by CT/MRI) and/or metabolic response (assessed by PET/CT).
Imaging assessment at approximately 12 weeks (3months) after completion of radiotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
1-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate
Time Frame: At 12 months post-radiotherapy
PFS is defined as the time from the day of first study drug administration to tumor progression (in any aspect) or death (from any cause).
At 12 months post-radiotherapy
1-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate
Time Frame: At 12 months post-radiotherapy
OS is defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment to death from any cause.
At 12 months post-radiotherapy
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Time Frame: From the first day of radiation therapy initiation to within 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after completion.

Throughout this study and during the follow-up period, the proportion of patients experiencing ≥Grade 2 radiotherapy-related toxicities (per CTCAE v5.0). Acute phase: From Day 1 of radiotherapy to 3 months post-treatment.

Late phase: From 3 months to 1 year post-radiotherapy. Late toxicities include but are not limited to gastrointestinal events (e.g., gastric ulcer, hemorrhage, stenosis), hepatic toxicity, or other organ toxicities.
From the first day of radiation therapy initiation to within 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after completion.
Quality of Life (QoL)
Time Frame: Baseling, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-radiotherapy
The QoL was assessed at baseline and during follow-up using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30), Version 3.0, which represent functions, symptoms, or health conditions. The EORTC QLQ-C30: a quality of life instrument for use in international clinical trials in oncology. A total of 30 items are included. Each item is graded from 1 to 4, except for items 29 and 30, indicating not at all, a little, quite a bit, and very much, with higher scores indicating poorer quality of life.
Baseling, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-radiotherapy
EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Gastric Cancer Module
Time Frame: Baseling, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-radiotherapy
The QoL STO22 was assessed at baseline and during follow-up using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Gastric Cancer Module (QLQ-STO22). The EORTC QLQ-STO22: a quality of life instrument for use in international clinical trials in gastric cancer. A total of 22 items are included. Each item is graded from 1 to 4, indicating not at all, a little, quite a bit, and very much, with higher scores indicating poorer quality of life.
Baseling, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-radiotherapy
Patient-Reported Quality of Life (PRO-QoL) Deterioration Rate
Time Frame: Baseline and 1 month post-radiotherapy
Defined as the assessment using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTCQLQ-C30), from baseline to 1 month post-radiotherapy completion.
Baseline and 1 month post-radiotherapy
Average duration per online ART session (from CBCT start to beam-on)
Time Frame: Periprocedural of ART
Periprocedural of ART

Time Frame: From the first treatment session through the end of ART, an average of 4 weeks
From the first treatment session through the end of ART, an average of 4 weeks
