Optical Surface Monitoring Technology-Guided Large-Segment Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

March 27, 2023 updated by: Peking Union Medical College Hospital

A Single-center, Blinded, Efficacious, Phase III Randomized Clinical Trial Initiated by Investigators to Investigate the Use of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) in Combination With Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) Technique for Left Breast Cancer Treatment, Compared to Traditional Laser Alignment With Free Breathing Treatment

This study is a single-center,blinded, efficacious, phase III randomized clinical trial initiated by investigators. The primary objective is to investigate the use of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) in combination with Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) technique for left breast cancer treatment, compared to traditional laser alignment with free breathing treatment. This approach offers superior positioning accuracy and improved heart protection without any increase in radiation or adverse reactions.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is an investigator-initiated blinded, efficacious, phase III randomized clinical trial study. The study hypothesis is that the use of Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) in combination with the Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) technique for left breast cancer treatment can improve positioning accuracy and heart protection without any increase in radiation or adverse reactions. The primary endpoint of this study is the accuracy of the treatment location and incidence of patient coronary events/myocardial perfusion decline.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Change from baseline to the whole treatment procedure
surface optical monitoring technology and simulation of surface contour registration error generated by surface optical surface error, as well as errors obtained by Cone beam CT registration. The translational errors in the left-right (x), up-down (y), front-back (z) directions, and rotational errors Rx, Ry, Rz will be measured
Change from baseline to the whole treatment procedure
Incidence of patient coronary events/myocardial perfusion decline
Time Frame: 3-year
including the cardiac enzymes, ECG and myocardial perfusion
3-year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Secondary efficacy indicators
Time Frame: 3-year
Correlation between surface optical monitoring technology and CBCT offset values Correlation between positioning errors and dose pass rates Patient position movement within fractions
