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

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

Change in target volumes between CT simulation and MRI simulation
Time Frame: 24 Months
To ascertain the effects of MRI simulation on size of target volumes and OAR, the volume (cc) will be compared between CT vs MR simulation by t-test for normal data or Wilcoxon signed-rank test if data does not follow a normal distribution. The extent of overlap calculated with the Sorensen-Dice coefficient and Hausdorff distance.
