Simulation-Free Celiac Plexus Pain Ablation Using Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Patients With Cancer-Related Celiac Pain (Celiac SRS)

8 giugno 2026 aggiornato da: University Health Network, Toronto

A Prospective Pilot Clinical Trial of Simulation-Free Celiac Plexus Pain Ablation Using Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Patients With Cancer-Related Celiac Pain

This is a prospective, single-arm, pilot feasibility clinical trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a simulation-free adaptive radiotherapy workflow to enable single-session celiac plexus SBRT planning and delivery. In this trial, the treatment itself is non-investigational (standard-of-care celiac plexus SBRT) but the treatment workflow (simulation-free, using adaptive radiotherapy to compress treatment planning and delivery into a single session) is novel. Investigators hypothesize the successful completion of the simulation-free ART workflow through treatment delivery in the first on-table treatment attempt for at least 80% of patients.

Descrizione dettagliata

A standard treatment for pain caused by cancer affecting the celiac plexus (a group of nerves in the upper abdomen behind the stomach and pancreas) is a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). In the usual process for this type of radiation treatment, the patient would first have a special radiation planning scan called a computer tomography simulation (CTsim) to create a personalized treatment plan. The planning process usually takes 5 to 10 days, which means treatment may begin up to 2 weeks after the initial CTsim scan. Recent technology has allowed for treatment to be planned without a separate CTsim scan, called a CTsim-free workflow. In this study, investigators will use pre-existing scans (such as diagnostic imaging) to create the patient's treatment plan. On the day of treatment, the care team will use a technique called Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) to adjust the plan based on the patient body's position and anatomy that day, allowing planning and treatment to happen in a single visit.

Descrizione

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must have histologically or cytologically confirmed cancer that is metastatic or unresectable, and considered appropriate per the treating physician to receive celiac plexus SBRT.
  • Age >18 years. Because no data are currently available on the use of celiac axis SBRT in subjects ≤18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
  • Performance status: ECOG Performance status ≤ 3
  • Severe retroperitoneal pain syndrome (radiates from the lower back to the upper abdomen, belt- like distribution), intensity of at least 5 on 11-point Brief Pain Inventory (BPI, average pain) scale.
  • Subjects must have anatomical involvement of the celiac plexus on the diagnostic CT, PET/CT, or MRI. This includes: Any pancreatic cancer, any other cancer that on imaging demonstrates either gross involvement of the celiac blood vessels or celiac plexus on imaging OR haziness around the celiac blood vessels that typically implies tumor engulfment.
  • Prior chemotherapy or biological treatment is allowed, but any active oncological treatment should be stopped at least 1 week prior to radiation therapy and renewed at least 1 week following radiation therapy.
  • Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Subjects must have a diagnostic CT of the abdomen and pelvis, with or without contrast, acquired < 28 days prior to the study consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • In ability to tolerate lying supine and still for at least 45 minutes.
  • Performance status: ECOG Performance status of 4.
  • Previous radiotherapy to the upper abdomen overlapping with the projected site of treatment.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study.
  • Subjects with conditions associated with increased risk of side effects from radiation such as inflammatory bowel disease and scleroderma.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of study entry. If pregnancy test is not clinically indicated as determined by treating physician or protocol principal investigator, documentation of this exception is sufficient in lieu of a pregnancy test.

Armi e interventi

Gruppo di partecipanti / Arm
Intervento / Trattamento
Sperimentale: Sim-free ART workflow
Simulation-free radiation treatment planning, in which pre-existing diagnostic images are used to generate a radiation treatment pre-plan (as opposed to acquiring planning-specific image sets). This will be paired with the use of online adaptive radiotherapy (ART) to refine the pre-plan to create a final plan that matches the on-table internal target and gastrointestinal anatomy observed with on-board imaging on the day of treatment. This enables single-session celiac plexus SBRT planning and delivery.

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Successful treatment plan workflow of 80% of patients
Lasso di tempo: 1 year

The feasibility and safety of the simulation-free adaptive radiotherapy workflow for celiac plexus SBRT for clinical use. Feasibility defined as the successful completion of the simulation-free ART workflow through treatment delivery in the first on-table treatment attempt for at least 80% of patients.

All of the following criteria must be met to be deemed feasible:

  • Meets all priority 1 OAR constraints
  • Meets a PTV_Opt_2500 and PTV_Opt_2000 priority 2 constraints
  • Patient specific QA pass as per institutional standards
  • Patient able to tolerate treatment position for CBCT and entirety of treatment process. If a break is required and the patient is repositioned, the ART process must repeat from CBCT acquisition
  • Complete delivery of all planned monitor units

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Component time
Lasso di tempo: 1 year
Average time required for each component of the simulation-free ART workflow, including but not limited to plan generation using diagnostic imaging, pre-treatment activities (e.g., on-table patient setup/imaging, dose prediction, segmentation of daily contours, plan optimization and evaluation), and treatment delivery.
1 year
Dosimetric comparison of radiation plans
Lasso di tempo: 1 year
Dosimetric comparison of radiation plans created on traditional offline CBCT images with those created using the simulation-free ART workflow (i.e., comparison of target coverage, sparing of organs-at-risk).
1 year
Frequency of online re-adaptation
Lasso di tempo: 1 Year
Frequency of online re-adaptation within the sim-free workflow. Readaptation defined as the need to regenerate a treatment plan after an initial plan had been generated that does not satisfy treatment parameters.
1 Year
Patient satisfaction
Lasso di tempo: 1 year
Overall patient satisfaction with celiac plexus SBRT using a simulation-free, adaptive radiotherapy workflow. This will be assessed using the Radiotherapy Experience Questionnaire (RTEQ) which is a validated RT experience questionnaire that reports patient experiences with the overall treatment process by answering statements on a scale of strongly agree to strongly disagree. Given that this is a novel workflow/process, the results of the questionnaire will shed light on their overall experience.
1 year
Change in the Brief Pain Inventory pain scale
Lasso di tempo: 6 Weeks
Change in Brief Pain Inventory pain scale, where on a scale 0 is "No Pain" and 10 is "Pain as bad as you can imagine", recorded in the pain diary, 6 weeks after sim-free celiac plexus SBRT.
6 Weeks
Change in Amount of Pain Medication
Lasso di tempo: 6 weeks
Change in the amount of pain medications (Morphine equivalents) use 6 weeks after sim-free celiac plexus SBRT, recorded in the pain diary. Patients will record number of medication units taken (unit of medication is a tablet or capsule, a millilitre (mL) of liquid, a suppository, or a patch).
